Abstract:
We express the obstruction to $G$-transversality in two related ways: as an element in the quotient of homotopical equivariant normal bordism by geometric bordism and also as the obstruction in a homotopy lifting problem. In both cases, our formulation is given in terms of the initial data only, in contrast to earlier theories. We also obtain related obstructions to equivariant "near" transversality, i.e., transversality using arbitrarily small homotopies.References
