We construct a Gysin sequence associated to any smooth ${\mathbb S}^3$-action on a smooth manifold.
In this paper, we prove that the orbit space B and the Euler class of an action of the circle S^1 on X determine both the equivariant intersection cohomology of the pseudomanifold X and its localization. We also construct a spectral sequence converging to the equivariant intersection cohomology of X whose third term is described in terms of the intersection cohomology of B.
A classical result says that a free action of the circle $\Bbb{S}^1$ on a topological space $X$ is geometrically classified by the orbit space $B$ and by a cohomological class ${H}^{^{2}}{(B,\Bbb{Z})}$, the Euler class. When the action is not free we have a difficult open question: $Π$ : "Is the space $X$ determined by the orbit space $B$ and the Euler class?" The main result of this work is a step towards the understanding of the above question in the category of unfolded pseudomanifolds. We prove that the orbit space $B$ and the Euler class determine: * the intersection cohomology of $X$, * the real homotopy type of $X$.
Let $Φ\colon \sbat \times M \to M$ be a smooth action of the unit circle $ \sbat$ on a manifold $M$. In this work, we compute the minimal model of $M$ in terms of the orbit space $B$ and the fixed point set $F\subset B$, as a dg-module over the Sullivan's minimal model of $B$.
