Equivariant Chow groups
of toric quotients

Abstract: Let $X$ be a simplicial toric variety with torus $T$
determined by a fan $\Sigma$.

Cox showed that $X$ can be constructed as a quotient of another
(simpler) toric variety $W$ with torus $T'$ by a group $G$ that arise
from an exact sequence
$$0\to G \to T' \to T \to 0$$

We apply Brion's representation of $A^T_*(X)$ to simplicial toric
varieties to derive a computational formula for equivariant Chow groups
$A_*^T(X)$, and use it to construct an explicit isomorphism between
$A_*^{T'}(W)\otimes Q$ and $A^T_*(X)\otimes Q=A_*^{ T'/G}(W/G)\otimes
Q$.
