Abstract

The Kuhn–Schwartz non-realizability theorem states the following: if the mod p cohomology of a topological space is finitely generated as a module over the Steenrod algebra [Ascr ] then it is finite. We generalize this result to the category of G-spaces, where G is a compact Lie group, by considering the equivariant cohomology of a G-space as an object in the category of all [Ascr ]-modules with a compatible H*(BG; [ ]p)-module structure.
