Calculations in nonabelian equivariant cohomology
Abstract:
Calculating the coefficients of equivariant generalized cohomology theories has been a fundamental question for equivariant homotopy theory. In this talk, I will talk about some calculations when the group is nonabelian. Examples include $RO(G)$-graded Eilenberg-MacLane cohomology of a point with constant coefficient when $G$ is a dihedral group of order $2p$ or the quaternion group $Q_8$, and coefficient ring of $\Sigma_3$-equivariant complex cobordism. I will discuss techniques in such computations: isotropy separation, cellular structures and dualities. This is joint work with Po Hu and Igor Kriz.
