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:
“The outline of the city became frantic in its effort to explain something that defied meaning. Power seemed to have outgrown its servitude and to have asserted its freedom. The cylinder had exploded, and thrown great masses of stone and steam against the sky.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
