Syzygies in equivariant cohomology in positive characteristic

Abstract

We develop a theory of syzygies in equivariant cohomology for tori as well as $p$-tori and coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_p$. A noteworthy feature is a new algebraic approach to the partial exactness of the Atiyah-Bredon sequence, which also covers all instances considered so far.
