CALCULATIONS IN EQUIVARIANT COHOMOLOGY
Mini-Workshop, Universität Konstanz,
December 6 & 7, 2002
The workshop centres around a result of Atiyah's in equivariant K-theory.
Apparently this theorem has not received much attention so far, although it
generalises the so-called Chang-Skjelbred lemma, which has recently become
an important tool to calculate the cohomology of toric varieties
and Hamiltonian T-spaces. We expect Atiyah's result to have a similar impact.
The aim of our workshop is to present Atiyah's result (with proof)
as well as some related results and possible applications.
It is supported by the DFG-Schwerpunkt
Globale Methoden in der komplexen Geometrie.
