Idea

Let GG be a finite group and XX a suitable topological G-space. Then the delocalized GG-equivariant cohomology of XX (Connes-Baum 89, p. 165) is the ordinary cohomology of the quotient space

(hGX h)/G \left( \underset{ h \in G }{\sqcup} X^{h} \right) / G

of the disjoint union of fixed loci, where the action of gGg \in G is by

(h,xX h)g(g 1hg,xgX g 1hg). \left(h,\, x \in X^h \right) \;\; \overset{g}{\mapsto} \;\; \left(g^{-1}\cdot h \cdot g ,\, x \cdot g \in X^{g^{-1} h g} \right) \,.

(Baum-Connes 89, above (7.3))

Properties

Relation to Chen-Ruan cohomology

The definition of delocalized equivariant cohomology coincides with that of Chen-Ruan cohomology for the global quotient orbifold (orbispace) XGX \sslash G. (Manifestly so, also highlighted in Bunke-Spitzweck-Schick 06, Section 1.3)

Relation to Bredon cohomology

In turn, Chen-Ruan cohomology of global quotient orbifolds (and hence, by the above delocalized equivariant cohomology) coincides with Bredon cohomology with coefficients in the rationalized representation ring-functor G/HRep(H)G/H \mapsto Rep(H) on the orbit category.

(Mislin-Valette 03, Thm. 6.1, review in Szabo-Valentino 07, Sec. 4.3

Relation to rationalized equivariant K-theory

In further turn, even-periodic Bredon cohomology with coefficients in the representation ring-functor is equivalent to rationalized equivariant K-theory:
