Geometrical aspects of localization theory

Some recent developments in topological quantum field theory have focused on localization techniques using equivariant cohomology to reduce functional integrals to finite-dimensional expressions from which physical and mathematical characteristics are readily deduced. In this thesis we examine the a...
