Abstract

In this short note, we compute the rational C2nC_{2^n}-equivariant stable stems and give minimal presentations for the RO(C2n)RO(C_{2^n})-graded Bredon cohomology of the equivariant classifying spaces BC2nS1B_{C_{2^n}}S^1 and BC2nΣ2B_{C_{2^n}}\Sigma_2 over the rational Burnside functor AQA_{\mathbf Q}. We also examine for which compact Lie groups LL the maximal torus inclusion TLT\to L induces an isomorphism from HC2n(BC2nL;AQ)H^*_{C_{2^n}}(B_{C_{2^n}}L;A_{\mathbf Q}) onto the fixed points of HC2n(BC2nT;AQ)H^*_{C_{2^n}}(B_{C_{2^n}}T;A_{\mathbf Q}) under the Weyl group action. We prove that this holds for L=U(m)L=U(m) and any n,m1n,m\ge 1 but does not hold for L=SU(2)L=SU(2) and n>1n>1.
