I was reading the paper "The Balmer spectrum of rational equivariant cohomology theories" of J.P.C. Greenlees and I found the following interesting fact, expressed in Lemma 4.2 and Remark 4....

Compute the rational cohomology ring $H^*(M;\mathbb{Q})$ of a product of Lie groups (and their quotients)

As the following product is a bit unfamiliar to me: How do we compute the rational cohomology ring $H^*(M;\mathbb{Q})$ of the product of Lie groups: $M=SO(n_1)\times U(n_2)\times SU(n_3)\times (...

Example request: equivariant formality versus formality for homogeneous spaces

Recall that a continuous action of a compact Lie group $T$ on a space $X$ is said to be equivariantly formal if the Borel equivariant cohomology $H^*(X \times_T ET;\mathbb Q)$ surjects through ...

Equivariant cohomology of finite group actions and invariant cohomology classes

Let $W$ be a finite group acting on a space $X$. In what generality is it true that $H^*_W(X) = H^* (X)^W$? We always have a map $H^*_W(X) \rightarrow H^* (X)^W$, but it is certainly not an ...

Equivariant Cohomology for actions with finite stabilizers

Let $X$ be a reasonable topological space (let's say it has the homotopy type of a CW complex) and let $G$ be a topological group acting on that space. Let $E_G \rightarrow B_G$ be the universal ...
