On the Equivariant Lazard Ring and Tom Dieck's Equivariant Cobordism Ring

Abstract

For a torus G of rank r = 1, we showed that the canonical ring homomorphism L_G \to MU_G, where L_G is the equivariant Lazard ring and MU_G is the equivariant cobordism ring introduced by Tom Dieck, is surjective. We also showed that the completion map MU_G \to \hat{MU}_G = MU(BG) is injective. Moreover, we showed that the same results hold if we assume a certain algebraic property holds in L_G when r \geq 2.
