Idea

For XX a manifold equipped with an action of a group GG, a GG-equivariant triangulation of XX is a triangulation of XX which is compatible with this GG-action, in that this action restricts to bijections on sets of kk-cells of the triangulation, for each kk \in \mathbb{N}.

Properties

The equivariant triangulation theorem (Illman 78, Illman 83) asserts that for GG a compact Lie group (for instance a finite group) equivariant triangulations of smooth manifolds always exist.
