We use the equivariant cohomology of hyperplane complements and their toral counterparts to give formulae for the Poincare polynomials of the varieties of Εegular semisimple elements of a reductive complex Lie group or Lie algebra. As a result, we obtain vanishing theorems for certain of the Betti n

In the paper one- and two-dimensional cohomology is compared for finite and infinite nilpotent Lie algebras, with coefficients in the adjoint representation. It turns out that, because the adjoint representation is not a highest weight representation in infinite dimension, the considered cohomology
We use a theorem of S. Tolman and J. Weitsman (The cohomology rings of Abelian symplectic quotients, math. DGΓ9807173) to find explicit formul$ for the rational cohomology rings of the symplectic reduction of flag varieties in C n , or generic coadjoint orbits of SU(n), by (maximal) torus actions. W
