Abstract
We prove an equivariant version of the Heegaard Floer link surgery formula. As a special case, this gives an equivariant knot surgery formula for equivariant knots in . Our proof goes by way of a naturality theorem for certain bordered modules described by the last author. As a sample application, we prove the kernel of the forgetful map from the equivariant homology cobordism group to the homology cobordism group contains a -summand.
