Outline Construction
Equivariant cohomology can be constructed as the ordinary cohomology of a suitable space determined by and, called the homotopy orbit space
- of
on . (The 'h' distinguishes it from the ordinary orbit space .)
If is the trivial group this space will turn out to be just itself, whereas if is contractible the space will be a classifying space for .

Famous quotes containing the words outline and/or construction:
“One by one objects are defined—
It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf
But now the stark dignity of
entrance—Still, the profound change
has come upon them: rooted, they
grip down and begin to awaken”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
