Abstract

Borel equivariant cohomology, H τ (X:R), for spaces with circle action is a module over R[u], where u has degree 2. Localised equivariant cohomology u -1 H τ (X:R), provides certain information about H τ (X:R) but as a cohomology theory it has a deficiency in that it does not satisfy Milnor's additivity axiom.

In this thesis an equivariant cohomology theory, h τ, is constructed which agrees with u-1 H τ on nice finite-dimensional spaces with circle action and satisfies Milnor's additivity axiom. This has already been done by J.D.S. Jones and S.B. Petrack for the smooth case, where a different method was used which cannot be extended to the general case. We show that h τ satisfies a fixed point theorem similar to the one for u-1 H τ on finite dimensional spaces. Finally, cellular versions of H τ (X:Z), and u -1 H τ (X:Z), are constructed.
