Title: "Equivariant cohomology of smooth toric varieties, II"
Room: MC 108

Abstract: We continue by proving Brion's theorem identidying the equivariant cohomology of a smooth toric variety with the ring of piecewise polynomials on the associated fan. Then we compare piecewise polynomials to the Stanley-Reisner ring. We conclude with some remarks about non-equivariant cohomology.
