$C_2$ equivariant characteristic classes over the rational Burnside ring

We give minimal presentations for the $RO(C_2)$-graded Bredon cohomology of the equivariant classifying spaces $B_{C_2}U(n), B_{C_2}SO(n)$ and $B_{C_2}Sp(n)$ with coefficients in the rational Burnside Green functor $A_{\mathbf Q}$. This results in an efficient description of rational $C_2$ equivariant Chern, Pontryagin and symplectic characteristic classes. These classes are then related to each other using the inclusions of maximal tori.

$C_{2^n}$-equivariant rational stable stems and characteristic classes

In this short note, we compute the rational $C_{2^n}$-equivariant stable stems and give minimal presentations for the $RO(C_{2^n})$-graded Bredon cohomology of the equivariant classifying spaces $B_{C_{2^n}}S^1$ and $B_{C_{2^n}}Σ_2$ over the rational Burnside functor $A_{\mathbf Q}$. We also examine for which compact Lie groups $L$ the maximal torus inclusion $T\to L$ induces an isomorphism from $H^*_{C_{2^n}}(B_{C_{2^n}}L;A_{\mathbf Q})$ onto the fixed points of $H^*_{C_{2^n}}(B_{C_{2^n}}T;A_{\mathbf Q})$ under the Weyl group action. We prove that this holds for $L=U(m)$ and any $n,m\ge 1$ but does not hold for $L=SU(2)$ and $n>1$.

The $RO(C_4)$ integral homology of a point

We compute the $RO(C_4)$ integral homology of a point with complete information as a Green functor, and we show that it is generated, in a slightly generalized sense, by the Euler and orientation classes of the irreducible real $C_4$-representations. We have devised a computer program that automates these computations for groups $G=C_{p^n}$ and we have used it to verify our results for $G=C_4$ in a finite range.

The $C_{2^n}$ Borel dual Steenrod algebra

In this very short note, we expand the Hu-Kriz computation of the $G$-equivariant Borel dual Steenrod algebra in characteristic $2$, from the group $G=C_2$ to all power-$2$ cyclic groups $G=C_{2^n}$.

The $RO(C_4)$ cohomology of the infinite real projective space

Following the Hu-Kriz method of computing the $C_2$ genuine dual Steenrod algebra $(H\mathbf F_2)_{\bigstar}(H\mathbf F_2)$, we calculate the $C_4$ equivariant Bredon cohomology of the classifying space $\mathbf R P^{\infty \rho}=B_{C_4}\Sigma_{2}$ as an $RO(C_4)$ graded Green-functor. We prove that as a module over the homology of a point (which we also compute), this cohomology is not flat. As a result, it can't be used as a test module for obtaining generators in $(H\mathbf F_2)_{\bigstar}(H\mathbf F_2)$ as Hu-Kriz do in the $C_2$ case.
