First, we may use the based cofiber sequence $ S^{2n-1}_{+}\to D^{2n}_{+} \to S^{2n}_{+} $$S^{2n-1}_{+}\to D^{2n}_{+} \to S^{2n}_{+}$ and its associated Gysin sequence $$0 \leftarrow K_{A\times \mathbb{T}}(S^{2n-1}) \leftarrow R(A)[z^{\pm1}] \xleftarrow{\chi} R(A)[z^{\pm1}] \leftarrow \cdots $$ If we write $$R(A) = \mathbb{Z}[t_{1}^{\pm1},\cdots,t_{n}^{\pm1}]/(1-t_{1}\cdots t_{n})$$ in this case $\chi=\prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-t_{i}z)$ and we can obtain $$K_{A}(\mathbb{C}P^{n-1})= R(A)[z^{\pm1}]/(\prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-t_{i}z)) = \mathbb{Z}[t_{1}^{\pm1},\cdots,t_{n}^{\pm1},z^{\pm1}]/(1-t_{1}\cdots t_{n},\prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-t_{i}z)).$$ This is the method discussed in Section 10 of Greenlees, J. P. C. "Equivariant formal group laws and complex oriented cohomology theories."

The two later descriptions should be isomorphic by looking at the following embedding $$R(A)[z^{\pm1}]/\prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-t_{i}z) \to \prod_{i=1}^{n}R(A)[z^{\pm1}]/(1-t_{i}z)\cong \text{Map}([n],R(A)), \overline{f}(z) \mapsto (f(t_{1}^{-1}),\cdots,f(t_{n}^{-1})) $$$$R(A)[z^{\pm1}]/\prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-t_{i}z) \to \prod_{i=1}^{n}R(A)[z^{\pm1}]/(1-t_{i}z)\cong \text{Map}([n],R(A)) $$ given by $$\overline{f}(z) \mapsto (f(t_{1}^{-1}),\cdots,f(t_{n}^{-1}))$$ and checking that the image is precisely the elements given by the GKM description (which should be true, although I haven't checked it carefully).

The first way (which can be wrong and please correct me if there is any mistake) is to use the observation that $$K_{T}(G/H)=K_{G}(G\times_{T}G/H)\cong K_{G}(G/T\times G/H)$$ where the second isomorphism is due to the fact there is a $G$-equivariant isomorphism $$G\times_{T}G/H\to G/T\times G/H, ~[g_1,g_2H]_{T} \mapsto (g_{1}T,g_1g_2H).$$$$G\times_{T}G/H\to G/T\times G/H, ~[g_1,g_2H]_{T} \mapsto (g_{1}T,g_1g_2H)$$ Applyingsee, e.g., Chapter 3 Example 4.4 in Anderson, David, and William Fulton, "Equivariant cohomology in algebraic geometry."

Applying Hogkins' spectral sequence (see, e.g., Theorem 2.3 in Brylinski, Jean-Luc, and Bin Zhang. "Equivariant K-Theory of Simply Connected Lie Groups." https://arxiv.org/abs/dg-ga/9710035) we can obtain $$K_{T}(G/H)\cong K_{G}(G/T)\otimes_{R(G)}K_{G}(G/H)\cong R(T)\otimes_{R(G)}R(H)$$ since the spectral sequence collapses.

My questions is, is there any mistake in my first way of describing equivariant $K$-theory? If not, how to find explicit isomorphism between the first and the second description? I am also not sure if I miss any important references (I just jumped in this this question so it is very likely I missed many fundamental results, and I am also aware of the fact that the references I mentioned here are neither the earliest ones nor the most complete ones but I referred to them as explicit descriptions are given) so if anyone can give me suggestions on useful references I would really appreciate it.
