A structure theorem for $\mathit{RO}(C_2)$–graded Bredon cohomology

Clover May

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 20 (2020) 1691–1728
Abstract

Let C2 be the cyclic group of order two. We present a structure theorem for the RO(C2)–graded Bredon cohomology of C2–spaces using coefficients in the constant Mackey functor 𝔽2 ¯. We show that, as a module over the cohomology of the point, the RO(C2)–graded cohomology of a finite C2–CW complex decomposes as a direct sum of two basic pieces: shifted copies of the cohomology of a point and shifted copies of the cohomologies of spheres with the antipodal action. The shifts are by elements of RO(C2) corresponding to actual (ie nonvirtual) C2–representations. This decomposition lifts to a splitting of genuine C2–spectra.

Keywords
