Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0719.00018.] Let \(G\) be a semisimple algebraic group of adjoint type and let \(H\) be the fixed point subgroup of an automorphism of \(G\) of order 2. ``Wonderful compactifications of the symmetric space \(G/H\) are certain smooth \(G\)- equivariant compactifications of \(G/H\). They have been introduced by \textit{C. De Concini} and \textit{C. Procesi} [in Invariant theory, Proc. 1st 1982 Sess. C.I.M.E., Montecatini/Italy, Lect. Notes Math. 966, 1-44 (1983; Zbl 0581.14041)] in order to solve enumerative problems on symmetric homogeneous spaces. In this article the authors describe the \(G\)- equivariant cohomology of wonderful compactifications \(X\) of \(G/H\). For this they construct and study a smooth \(N\)-stable subvariety of \(X\), which meets every \(B\)-orbit in a \(T\)-orbit, where \(T\), respectively \(B\), is a suitably chosen maximal torus, respectively Borel subgroup, in \(G\) and \(N\) is the normalizer of \(T\).
