We show that for every symmetric space G/K of compact type with K connected, the K-action on G/K by left translations is equivariantly formal.

In this short note, we prove a G-equivariant generalisation of McDuff-Segal's group-completion theorem for finite groups G. A new complication regarding genuine equivariant localisations arises and we resolve this by isolating a simple…

The smooth action of a compact Lie group on a compact manifold can be resolved to an iterated space, as made explicit by Pierre Albin and the second author. On the resolution the lifted action has fixed isotropy type, in an iterated sense,…

Starting with a $\mathbb{C}^*$-valued cocycle on the global quotient orbifold $X // G$, we apply transgression techniques for 2-gerbes, as developed by Lupercio and Uribe, to construct a gerbe on the orbifold loop space $\mathcal{L}(X//G)$.…

Let $\Uq$ be a quantum group. Regarding a (noncommutative) space with $\Uq$-symmetry as a $\Uq$-module algebra $A$, we may think of equivariant vector bundles on $A$ as projective $A$-modules with compatible $\Uq$-action. We construct an…

Let G be a compact Lie group. We present two induction theorems for certain generalized G-equivariant cohomology theories. The theory applies to G-equivariant K-theory K_G, and to the Borel cohomology associated to any complex oriented…

Equivariant cohomology is a mathematical framework particularly well adapted to a kinematical understanding of topological gauge theories of the cohomological type. It also sheds some light on gauge fixing, a necessary field theory…

We present a description of the equivariant $K$-theory of a smooth projective spherical variety. This provides an integral $K$-theory version of Brion's calculation of equivariant Chow-cohomology of such varieties. We consider the…

Starting from any proper action of any locally compact quantum group on any discrete quantum space, we show that its equivariant representation theory yields a concrete unitary 2-category of finite type Hilbert bimodules over the discrete…

In this note we present an analogue of equivariant formality in $K$-theory and show that it is equivalent to equivariant formality \emph{\`a la} Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson. We also apply this analogue to give alternative proofs of…

We prove an analogue of the Borel-Bott-Weil theorem in equivariant KK-theory by constructing certain canonical equivariant correspondences between minimal flag varieties G/B, with G a complex semisimple Lie group.

We give a proof that the geometric K-homology theory for finite CW-complexes defined by Baum and Douglas is isomorphic to Kasparov's K-homology. The proof is a simplification of more elaborate arguments which deal with the geometric…

We define equivariant homology theories using bordism of stratifolds with a G-action, where G is a discrete group. Stratifolds are a generalization of smooth manifolds which were introduced by Kreck. He defines homology theories using…

The classical integral localization formula for equivariantly closed forms (Theorem 7.11 in [BGV]) is well-known and requires the acting Lie group to be compact. It is restated here as Theorem 2. In this article we extend this result to…

This survey article on relative homological algebra in bivariant K-thoery is mainly intended for readers with a background knowledge in triangulated categories. We briefly recall the general theory of relative homological algebra in…

Let $G$ be a matrix group. Topological $G$-manifolds with Palais-proper action have the $G$-homotopy type of countable $G$-CW complexes (3.2). This generalizes E Elfving's dissertation theorem for locally linear $G$-manifolds (1996). Also…

We introduce and compare two approaches to equivariant homotopy theory in a topological or ordinary Quillen model category. For the topological model category of spaces, we generalize Piacenza's result that the categories of topological…

For G an almost-connected Lie group, we study G-equivariant index theory for proper co-compact actions with various applications, including obstructions to and existence of G-invariant Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature. We…

Using groupoid $S^1$-central extensions, we present, for a compact simple Lie group $G$, an infinite dimensional model of $S^1$-gerbe over the differential stack $G/G$ whose Dixmier-Douady class corresponds to the canonical generator of the…

In this paper, we define a new cohomology theory for multiplicative Hom-pre-Lie algebras which controls deformations of Hom-pre-Lie algebra structure. This new cohomology is a natural one by considering the structure map. We develop…
