\(RO(C_2)\)-graded cohomology of equivariant Grassmannian manifolds (Q2223062)

Let \(\mathbb R_{\mathrm{triv}}\) and \(\mathbb R_{\mathrm{sgn}}\) be the trivial and nontrivial irreducible representations of the cyclic group \(C_2\) of order \(2\) and \(\mathbb R^{p,q} = (\mathbb R_{\mathrm{triv}})^{p-q} \oplus (\mathbb R_{\mathrm{sgn}})^q\). The action of \(C_2\) on \(\mathbb R^{p,q}\) induces one on \(Gr_k(\mathbb R^{p,q})\), the Grassmannian of \(k\) dimensional subspaces of \(\mathbb R^{p,q}\). The author computes the \(RO(C_2)\)-graded Bredon cohomology of \(Gr_k(\mathbb R^{n,1})\) and \(Gr_2(\mathbb R^{n,2})\) with coefficients in a constant \(\mathbb Z_2\)-valued Mackey functor as a module over the cohomology of a point.
