The Pontryagin-Thom theorem gives an isomorphism between the cobordism group of framed $n$-dimensional manifolds, $\omega_n$, and the $n^{th}$ stable homotopy group of the sphere spectrum, $\pi_n(\mathbb{S})$. The equivariant analogue of…

We classify equivariant topological complex vector bundles over real projective plane under a compact Lie group (not necessarily effective) action. It is shown that nonequivariant Chern classes and isotropy representations at (at most)…

The known manifolds of positive sectional curvature are either homogeneous spaces or biquotients, i.e. quotients of a compact Lie group by a group acting on the left and right simultaneously. The full isometry group of the homogeneous…

We survey recent developments which led to the proof of the Benson-Gordon conjecture on K\"ahler quotients of solvable Lie groups. In addition we prove that the Albanese morphism of a K\"ahler manifold which is a homotopy torus is a…

We construct equivariant and Bott-type Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and cohomology for 3-manifolds, in particular rational homology spheres, and prove their diffeomorphism invariance. We present several versions of the equivariant theory:…

We construct an equivariant version of Ray-Singer analytic torsion for proper, isometric actions by locally compact groups on Riemannian manifolds, with compact quotients. We obtain results on convergence, metric independence, vanishing for…

The chiral equivariant cohomology contains and generalizes the classical equivariant cohomology of a manifold M with an action of a compact Lie group G. For any simple G, there exist compact manifolds with the same classical equivariant…

Equivariant quantization is a new theory that highlights the role of symmetries in the relationship between classical and quantum dynamical systems. These symmetries are also one of the reasons for the recent interest in quantization of…

In this paper we define complex equivariant K-theory for actions of Lie groupoids using finite-dimensional vector bundles. For a Bredon-compatible Lie groupoid, this defines a periodic cohomology theory on the category of finite equivariant…

This paper develops 'covariant tomography', a local framework for solving Inverse Boundary Value Problems (IBVP) for parallel transport equation on star-shaped domains. By integrating geometric decomposition with specific interior…

We show that for any cohomogeneity one continuous action of a compact connected Lie group $G$ on a closed topological manifold the equivariant cohomology equipped with its canonical $H^*(BG)$-module structure is Cohen-Macaulay. The proof…

The long-standing problem of the perfectness of the compactly supported equivariant homeomorphism group on a $G$-manifold (with one orbit type) is solved in the affirmative. The proof is based on an argument different than that for the case…

We give two generalizations of the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne localization theorem for the equivariant cohomology of a torus action: 1) replacing the torus action by a compact connected Lie group action, 2) replacing the manifold having a…

Inspired by the work of Chevalley and Eilenberg on the de Rham cohomology on compact Lie groups, we prove that, under certain algebraic and topological conditions, the cohomology associated to left-invariant elliptic, and even hypocomplex,…

In the mid 1980s, while working on establishing completion theorems for equivariant Algebraic K-Theory similar to the well-known completion theorems for equivariant topological K-theory, the late Robert Thomason found the strong finiteness…

Let X be an orbifold with crepant resolution Y. The Crepant Resolution Conjectures of Ruan and Bryan-Graber assert, roughly speaking, that the quantum cohomology of X becomes isomorphic to the quantum cohomology of Y after analytic…

To smooth schemes equipped with a smooth affine group scheme action, we associate an equivariant motivic homotopy category. Underlying our construction is the choice of an `equivariant Nisnevich topology' induced by a complete, regular, and…

We will discuss the equivariant cohomology of a manifold endowed with the action of a Lie group. Localization formulae for equivariant integrals are explained by a vanishing theorem for equivariant cohomology with generalized coefficients.…

In this work we relate the known results about the homotopy type of classifying spaces for smooth foliations, with the homology and cohomology of the discrete group of diffeomorphisms of a smooth compact connected oriented manifold. The…

We generalize several comparison results between algebraic, semi-topological and topological K-theories to the equivariant case with respect to a finite group.
