Abstract

Let C2C_2 denote the cyclic group of order 2. We compute the RO(C2)RO(C_2)-graded cohomology of all C2C_2-surfaces with constant integral coefficients. We show when the action is nonfree, the answer depends only on the genus, the orientability of the underlying surface, the number of isolated fixed points, the number of fixed circles with trivial normal bundles, and the number of fixed circles with nontrivial normal bundles. When the action on the surface is free, we show the answer depends only on the genus, the orientability of the underlying surface, whether the action is orientation preserving versus reversing in the orientable case, and one other invariant.
