Abstract

We introduce a twisted action of the equivariant cohomology of the singleton HR(pt,k)H_R^\bullet({\rm pt},\Bbbk) on the equivarinat cohomology HL(X,k)H_L^\bullet(X,\Bbbk) of an LL-space XX. Considering this actions as a right action, HL(X,k)H_L^\bullet(X,\Bbbk) becomes a bimodule togeather with the canonical left action of HL(pt,k)H_L^\bullet({\rm pt},\Bbbk). Using this bimodule structure, we prove an equivariant version of the K\"unneth isomorphism. We apply this result to the computation of the equivariant cohomologies of Bott-Samelson varieties and to a geometric construction of the bimodule morphisms between these cohomologies.
