Idea

The equivariant Chern character is the generalization of the Chern character from topological K-theory to equivariant topological K-theory, equivalently the specialization of the equivariant Chern-Dold character for generalized equivariant cohomology to equivariant topological K-theory.

The equivariant Chern character has a variety of different but equivalent concrete incarnations, depending on the choice of presentation of the rational equivariant K-theory that it takes values in:
