Cohomology of GKM-sheaves
Abstract: Let $T$ be a compact torus and $X$ be a a finite $T$-CW complex (e.g. a compact $T$-manifold). In earlier work, the second author introduced a functor which assigns to $X$ a so called GKM-sheaf $\mathcal{F}_X$ whose ring of global sections $H0(\mathcal{F}_X)$ is isomorphic to the equivariant cohomology $H*_T(X)$ whenever $X$ is equivariantly formal (meaning that $H*_T(X)$ is a free module over $H*(BT))$. In the current paper we prove more generally that $H0(\mathcal{F}_X) \cong H*_T(X)$ if and only if $H_T*(X)$ is reflexive, and find a geometric interpretation of the higher cohomology $Hn(\mathcal{F}_X)$ for $n \geq 1$.
