equivariant orientation

Assume that $G$ is a compact Lie group and $M$ is a smooth oriented manifold on which $G$ acts freely. Then the orbit space $M/G$ is a smooth manifold with dimension $dimM-dimG$. I …

Braided coverings and braided monodromy

We can map from set of coverings over $X$ to symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ via monodromy (if we fix a loop at the basepoint). Also we can consider braid group $Br_n(Y)$, allow s …

Subvarieties with different topology representing the same cycle

Let $X$ be a topological space, and $Y,Z$ be subspaces. My question is a bit vague and open-ended: when is it the case that, if $Y$ and $Z$ represent the same (nonzero) cycle in ho …

Equivariant Cohomology of a Complex Projective Variety

Suppose that I have a complex projective variety $X$ endowed with an algebraic action of a complex torus $T$. Suppose also that the set $X^T$ of fixed points is finite. I would lik …

Do we have a “topological assembly map” in the Baum-Connes conjecture?

In the equivariant Atiyah-Singer index theorem, when $G$ is a compact group acting on a manifold $M$ and $R(G)$ is the representation ring of $G$. We have the analytic index $$ \te …

Is there an analogous concept for the degree of a map, when the spaces are singular?

Let $M$ and $N$ be two smooth compact, oriented manifolds and $X\subset M$ an oriented submanifold of $M$ of dimension $k$ (not necessarily closed). Suppose in addition that $\bar …
