Description for Supersymmetry and Equivariant de Rham Theory
Hardcover. This book discusses the equivariant cohomology theory of differentiable manifolds. Although this subject has gained great popularity since the early 1980's, it has not before been the subject of a monograph.

Equivariant cohomology on smooth manifolds is the subject of this book which is part of a collection of volumes edited by J. Brüning and V.W. Guillemin.

These papers are reproduced here, together with a modern introduction to the subject, written by two of the leading experts in the field.

The understanding is enhanced by appealing to concepts which developed after Cartan’s seminal work, which also help to place things in a broader context. This approach sheds light on many of ...
