“…In addition, compactness assures that all T-spaces have finitely many orbit types and that the rational cohomology of each fixed point subspace X H = {x ∈ X | hx = x for all h ∈ H} is of finite type for all closed subgroups H ⊆ T. We will also assume that all T-spaces are based, with basepoint fixed by the T-action, and T-simply connected in the sense that the connected components of the fixed point subspaces X H are all simply connected. These will be standing assumptions in what follows; note that we are not assuming that the fixed point sets are also connected, as needed for the minimal models of [12], but instead are allowing disconnected fixed sets as in [11], as is necessary for the study of Kähler manifolds. Section 2 gives a quick sketch of the background material on equivariant formality.…”
