Equivariant bundles invisible in K-theory and Borel cohomology

For a given topological group $G$ there are natural transformations $$K^* \leftarrow K^*_G \overset a\to H^{**}(EG \times_G -;\mathbb Q)$$ from equivariant K-theory, the first forgetting the $G$-struc …

Torsion in the Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence of a classifying space

Let $G$ be a compact, connected Lie group. There is an Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence $$H^*(BG;K^*) \implies K^*(BG)$$ connecting $H^*BG$, which generally contains torsion, with $K^*BG \cong \ …

Is there any "deep" relation between the localization theorem of equivariant cohomology and ...

This is very late and you've no doubt learned this in the last five years, but for completeness, the relation is indeed that they are linked by completion and the Chern character, as suggested in one …

What is the current understanding regarding complex structures on the 6-sphere?

In October 2016, Atiyah famously posted a preprint to the arXiv, "The Non-Existent Complex 6-Sphere" containing a very brief proof $S^6$ admits no complex structure, which I immediately read and reali …

What is the equivariant cohomology of a group acting on itself by conjugation?

For any interested latecomers who somehow discover this question in the future, I've found a very low-tech answer, bootstrapping from the low-tech answer to Is a Lie group equivariantly formal under c …
