Review text

An h-representation is a G-CW complex, such that the fixed point set of any subgroup is a sphere. The dimension function of an h-representation, restricted to a certain class of subgroups, can be related to a virtual representation. This linearity theorem reduced the problem Which functions can be realized as dimension functions ? to the finite group case. The proof uses the concept of niltoral groups. In particular a compact Lie group admits an h-representation with non-stably linear dimension function iff it is not niltoral. This generalizes results of tom Dieck on finite groups and tori.
