Title: Local cohomology in equivariant topology
Abstract: The article describes the role of local homology and 
cohomology in understanding the equivariant cohomology and
homology of universal spaces. This brings to light an 
interesting duality property related to the Gorenstein 
condition. The phenomena are studied and illustrated in 
several rather different families of examples. Both 
topology and commutative algebra benefit from the connection, 
and many interesting questions remain open.
