Equivariant cohomology of fixed points using the localisation theorem
I am trying to understand the Smith-Thom inequality for spaces equipped with an action by a cyclic group and also the case, when it's an equality:
In the following, let $G=\mathbb{Z}/p$, $\mathbb{F}$ ...

Localization of the pushforward in equivariant cohomology
I am reading Nekrasov's paper and in page 2 he considers the $G \times T^2$ equivariant cohomology of the (compactified) moduli space $\tilde{M_k}$ of $U(N)$ instantons on $\mathbb{C}^2$. Here $G$ ...

Localization in equivariant cohomology theory for groups other than ($p$-)tori
Recall the following localization theorem, as stated in Hsiang's Cohomology Theory of Compact Transformation Groups:
Theorem. Let $G=(S^1)^k$ be a torus, $X$ a paracompact $G$-space with finite ...

Using and understanding the Atiyah-Bott localization theorem/integration formula
I posted this on r/math, but was told I might have better success here given the level of the question.
Basically, I need to learn how to use the localization theorem to compute integrals on ...
