Algebraic Topology Seminar

In this talk, I will present a method for calculating equivariant homology with constant coefficients for a finite group action. I apply this technique to completely calculate the geometric fixed points of the equivariant spectrum representing equivariant (co)homology with constant coefficients. In addition, I will treat the more complicated example of inverting the standard representation in the equivariant homology of split extraspecial groups at the prime 2.
