Let \(G\) be a compact Lie group and \(\Omega_*^G\) be the \(G\)-equivariant complex bordism ring. There is an analog of the Pontryagin--Thom map from \(\Omega_*^G\) to a certain equivariant analog of homotopy groups of Thom spaces, however, unlike the non-equivariant case, this map is not an isomorphism. \textit{G. Comezaña} in Chapter 28 of \textit{J. P. May} [Equivariant homotopy and cohomology theory. Dedicated to the memory of Robert J. Piacenza. Regional Conference Series in Mathematics. 91. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society, 333--352 (1996; Zbl 0890.55001)] proved that this map is injective for \(G\) abelian. In the paper under review the author determines the image of this map when \(G\) is a torus.
