Review text

In this paper we give an algorithmic method to determine the equivariant cohomology ring of the G-equivariant embeddings of a semisimple adjoint group G. Such result was obtained on one hand using some special combinatorial objects associated to the fans of the embeddings, called Reisner-Stanley systems, on the other hand using a sheaf on the fundamental Weyl chamber of G, independent from the choice of the embedding. The main step in the computation is the complete determination of a sheaf of rings on a fundamental Weyl chamber C for G. It turns out that the ring on a face of C is just the ring of polynomials on a Cartan subalgebra which are invariant under the simple reflections fixing such a face.
