However, there has been a notable lack of computations done. In this paper, a version of the Serre spectral sequence of a fibration is developed for RO ( G )-graded equivariant cohomology of G -spaces for finite groups G . This spectral sequence is then used to compute cohomology of projective bundles and certain loop spaces.
In addition, the cohomology of Rep( G )-complexes, with appropriate coefficients, is shown to always be free. As an application, the cohomology of real projective spaces and some Grassmann manifolds are computed, with an eye towards developing a theory of equivariant characteristic classes. / Adviser: Daniel Dugger
