The equivariant de Rham complex on a simplicial G_*-manifold

Abstract

We show that when a simplicial Lie group acts on a simplicial manifold $\{X_{\ast }\}$, we can construct a bisimplicial manifold and the de Rham complex on it. This complex is quasi-isomorphic to the equivariant simplicial de Rham complex on $\{X_{\ast }\}$ and its cohomology group is isomorphic to the cohomology group of the fat realization of the bisimplicial manifold. We also exhibit a cocycle in the equivariant simplicial de Rham complex.
