Abstract: Let $X$ be a topological space upon which a compact connected Lie group $G$ acts. It is well-known that the equivariant cohomology $H_G^{\ast }(X;Q)$ is isomorphic to the subalgebra of Weyl group invariants of the equivariant cohomology $H_T^{\ast }(X;Q)$, where $T$ is a maximal torus of $G$. This relationship breaks down for coefficient rings $k$ other than $Q$. Instead, we prove that under a mild condition on $k$ the algebra $H_G^{\ast }(X,k)$ is isomorphic to the subalgebra of $H_T^{\ast }(X,k)$ annihilated by the divided difference operators.
