The $\mathbb{Z}/p$ ordinary cohomology of $B_G U(1)$

Abstract

With G=Z/pG = \mathbb{Z}/p, pp prime, we calculate the ordinary GG-cohomology (with Burnside ring coefficients) of CPG=BGU(1)\mathbb{C}P_G^\infty = B_G U(1), the complex projective space, a model for the classifying space for GG-equivariant complex line bundles. The RO(G)RO(G)-graded ordinary cohomology was calculated by Gaunce Lewis, but here we extend to a larger grading in order to capture a more natural set of generators, including the Euler class of the canonical bundle, as well as a significantly simpler set of relations.
