Abstract:
Let $\,G\,$ be a finite group and $\,f:Y\to X\,$ a Hurewicz $\,G$-fibration. Using sheaf-theoretic methods, we show that, under suitable assumptions on the $\,G$-spaces $\,X\,$ and $\,Y\,$, the equivariant cohomology of $\,Y\,$ is the limit of a spectral sequence, whose $\,E_2$-term is given by the equivariant cohomology of $\,X\,$ with coefficient system depending on the equivariant cohomology of the fibre of $\,f\,$.
