$C_2$ equivariant characteristic classes over the rational Burnside ring

Algebraic Topology 2021-04-27 v1

Abstract

We give minimal presentations for the RO(C2)RO(C_2)-graded Bredon cohomology of the equivariant classifying spaces BC2U(n),BC2SO(n)B_{C_2}U(n), B_{C_2}SO(n) and BC2Sp(n)B_{C_2}Sp(n) with coefficients in the rational Burnside Green functor AQA_{\mathbf Q}. This results in an efficient description of rational C2C_2 equivariant Chern, Pontryagin and symplectic characteristic classes. These classes are then related to each other using the inclusions of maximal tori.
