Abstract:

We calculated the coefficient groups of equivariant $K$-theory for any cyclic group, and we proved that, for any compact Lie group, the coefficient groups can only have $2$-torsion. If there is any $2$-torsion, it is detected by $2$-primary finite subgroups of $G$. The rationalization of the coefficient groups then can be easily calculated.
