Equivariant cosymplectic geometry

Cosymplectic manifolds provide a natural geometric framework for codimension-one symplectic foliations and arise throughout geometry and mathematical physics. We develop an equivariant cohomological theory for cosymplectic manifolds, studying the role of symmetry in their topology and their connections to Poisson geometry.
Reinterpreting the obstruction theory of Guillemin, Miranda, and Pires, we introduce equivariant obstruction classes for group actions preserving the foliation and characterize the existence of invariant cosymplectic structures. We further show that the vanishing of the first obstruction class is equivalent to equivariant unimodularity of the associated Poisson structure, extending a classical criterion to the equivariant setting via Ginzburg's framework for equivariant Poisson cohomology.
For compact cosymplectic manifolds fibering over $\mathbb{S}^1$, we construct equivariant versions of de Rham, foliated, and Poisson cohomologies, establishing formality results in each case via an equivariant Wang sequence. The key input is Kirwan's formality theorem for Hamiltonian actions on the symplectic fiber, which, through the equivariant Wang sequence, yields a complete and computable description of all three equivariant cohomology theories in terms of the monodromy action on the fiber.
