We compute the trace of an endomorphism in equivariant bivariant K-theory for a compact group G in several ways: geometrically using geometric correspondences, algebraically using localisation, and as a Hattori-Stallings trace. This results…

Let G be a compact Lie group. We build a tower of G-spectra over the suspension spectrum of the space of linear isometries from one G-representation to another. The stable cofibres of the maps running down the tower are certain interesting…

We construct a map from the suspension $G$-spectrum $\Sigma_G^\infty M$ of a smooth compact $G$-manifold to the equivariant $A$-theory spectrum $A_G(M)$, and we show that its fiber is, on fixed points, a wedge of stable $h$-cobordism…

Equivariant "Ham Sandwich" Theorems are obtained for the finite subgroups G of the unit spheres S(F) in the classical algebras F = R, C, and H. Given any n F-valued mass distributions on F^n, it is shown that there exists a G-equivariant…

For the group GL(n), we construct an action of the equivariant derived category of coherent sheaves on the Grothendieck-Springer resolution on a certain subcategory of a finite monodromic Hecke category. We use this to construct a partial…

We give a natural construction and a direct proof of the Adams isomorphism for equivariant orthogonal spectra. More precisely, for any finite group G, any normal subgroup N of G, and any orthogonal G-spectrum X, we construct a natural map A…

For G a semisimple algebraic group, we revisit the description of the components of the affne Springer fiber given by ts, with s a regular semisimple element. We then compute the fixed points of each component of a particular affne Springer…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Denote a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $GL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n)$ and $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n)$ by $S_p(n,GL)$ and $S_p(n,SL)$ respectively. The theory of stable elements tells us that the mod-$p$ cohomology of a finite group is…

In [GT], Goldin and the second author extend some ideas from Schubert calculus to the more general setting of Hamiltonian torus actions on compact symplectic manifolds with isolated fixed points. (See also [Kn99] and [Kn08].) The main goal…

Let C be a non-empty finite set, and Gamma a subgroup of the symmetric group S(C). Given a bijection f:A cross C to B cross C, the problem of Gamma-equivariant division is to find a quotient bijection h:A to B respecting whatever symmetries…

For a Lie group G, we seek the right definition of a "moment space" for G. One axiom is clear, involving a closed equivariant three-form. We construct this form for symmetric spaces associated to a symmetric pair (H,G) with an additional…

We give a simple matrix-based proof of congruence equations modulo a prime $p$ involving sums of binomial coefficients appearing in Pascal's triangle. These equations can be used to construct some groups of exponent $p^n$. These groups, as…

We study the Duflot filtration on the Borel equivariant cohomology of smooth manifolds with a smooth $p$-torus action. We axiomatize the filtration and prove analog of several structural results about equivariant cohomology rings in this…

We show that the classifying space of a $p$-local compact group is approximated by a telescope of classifying spaces of $p$-local finite groups. This result has numerous implications, like a Stable Elements Theorem for $p$-local compact…

In a recent work Malkiewich and Merling proposed a definition of the equivariant $K$-theory of spaces for spaces equipped with an action of a finite group. We show that the fixed points of this spectrum admit a tom Dieck-type splitting. We…

For a finite extension $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and $n \geq 1$, let $D$ be the division algebra over $F$ of invariant $1/n$ and let $G^0$ be the subgroup of $\text{GL}_n(F)$ of elements with norm $1$ determinant. We show that the action of…

We state the generating hypothesis in the homotopy category of G-spectra for a compact Lie group G, and prove that if G is finite, then the generating hypothesis implies the strong generating hypothesis, just as in the non-equivariant case.…

We study equivalences of the form $\Sigma^{V}X\simeq \Sigma^{W}X$, where $G$ is a compact Lie group, $X$ is a $G$-spectrum, and $V$ and $W$ are $G$-representations. These equivalences encode a periodicity phenomenon in $G$-equivariant…

The filtration on the infinite symmetric product of spheres by the number of factors provides a sequence of spectra between the sphere spectrum and the integral Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum. This filtration has received a lot of attention…

Let G be a finite group. For semi-free G-manifolds which are oriented in the sense of Waner, the homotopy classes of G-equivariant maps into a G-sphere are described in terms of their degrees, and the degrees occurring are characterized in…
