Atiyahs classical work on circular symmetry and stationary phase shows how the $hat{A}$-genus is obtained by formally applying the equivariant cohomology localization formula to the loop space of a simply connected spin manifold. The same technique, applied to a suitable antiholomorphic sector in the $mathbb{C}/Lambda$-equivariant cohomology of the conformal double loop space $mathrm{Maps}(mathbb{C}/Lambda,X)$ of a rationally string manifold $X$ produces the Witten genus of $X$. This can be seen as an equivariant localization counterpart to Berwick-Evans supersymmetric localization derivation of the Witten genus.

Equivariant localization techniques give a rigorous interpretation of the Witten genus as an integral over the double loop space. This provides a geometric explanation for its modularity properties. It also reveals an interplay between the geometry of double loop spaces and complex analytic elliptic cohomology. In particular, we identify a candidate target for the elliptic Bismut-Chern character.
This note contains a generalization to $p>2$ of the authors previous calculations of the coefficients of $(mathbb{Z}/2)^n$-equivariant ordinary cohomology with coefficients in the constant $mathbb{Z}/2$-Mackey functor. The algberaic results by S.Kriz allow us to calculate the coefficients of the geometric fixed point spectrum $Phi^{(mathbb{Z}/p)^n}Hmathbb{Z}/p$, and more generally, the $mathbb{Z}$-graded coefficients of the localization of $Hmathbb{Z}/p_{(mathbb{Z}/p)^n}$ by inverting any chosen set of embeddings $S^0rightarrow S^{alpha_i}$ where $alpha_i$ are non-trivial irreducible representations. We also calculate the $RO(G)^+$-graded coefficients of $Hmathbb{Z}/p_{(mathbb{Z}/p)^n}$, which means the cohomology of a point indexed by an actual (not virtual) representation. (This is the non-derived part, which has a nice algebraic description.)
We study super parallel transport around super loops in a quotient stack, and show that this geometry constructs a global version of the equivariant Chern character.
The $ER(2)$-cohomology of $Bmathbb{Z}/(2^q)$ and $mathbb{C}P^n$ are computed along with the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence for $ER(2)^*(mathbb{C}P^infty)$. This, along with other papers in this series, gives us the $ER(2)$-cohomology of all Eilenberg-MacLane spaces. Since $ER(2)$ is $TMF_0(3)$ after a suitable completion, these computations also take care of that theory.
This survey paper describes two geometric representations of the permutation group using the tools of toric topology. These actions are extremely useful for computational problems in Schubert calculus. The (torus) equivariant cohomology of the flag variety is constructed using the combinatorial description of Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson, discussed in detail. Two permutation representations on equivariant and ordinary cohomology are identified in terms of irreducible representations of the permutation group. We show how to use the permutation actions to construct divided difference operators and to give formulas for some localizations of certain equivariant classes. This paper includes several new results, in particular a new proof of the Chevalley-Monk formula and a proof that one of the natural permutation representations on the equivariant cohomology of the flag variety is the regular representation. Many examples, exercises, and open questions are provided.
