Abstract

Equivariant cohomology is a mathematical framework particularly well adapted to a kinematical understanding of topological gauge theories of the cohomological type. It also sheds some light on gauge fixing, a necessary field theory operation connected with the non compactness of the gauge group. The respective roles of fields and observables are emphasized throughout.
