Abstract

We construct a chain complex B\mathfrak{B} based on a double complex derived from the universal complex X(Z2n)X(\mathbb{Z}_2^n). It is shown that B\mathfrak{B} has a nontrivial homology only in degree n2n-2, which is isomorphic to the equivariant unoriented bordism group Zn+1(Z2n)\mathcal{Z}_{n+1}(\mathbb{Z}_2^n) of all (n+1)(n+1)-dimensional smooth closed Z2n\mathbb{Z}_2^n-manifolds with isolated fixed points. By analyzing the spectral sequence of B\mathfrak{B}, we derive a dimension formula for Zn+1(Z2n)\mathcal{Z}_{n+1}(\mathbb{Z}_2^n) as a Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-vector space, which agrees with a recent result for n=3n=3.
