I should know what is expected to be true, and what is the story.
I should also know what is known to be true, i.e. proven. And I should know how the proof goes.
I should also know what is known to be false, and counter examples.

Q1: from $G$ to $T$
For our flag variety, why is it true that, $T$-equivariant homology and $G$-equivariant homology only differ by Weyl covering.
(1) First of all, why is that for any Borel $B$ of $G$, the abstract Cartan $B/[B,B]$ for different $B$ are identified? Well, we may consider conjugation action of $G$ on the set of $B$. Suppose $B_1 = g B_2 g^{-1}$ for some $g$, the ambiguity of $g$: is right multiplication by $B_2$, left multiplication by $B_1$. For any $g' \in B_1 g B_2$, maybe consider the induced map on.
What is conjugation action on $B$? Fix a $b_0 \in B$, we can send $b \mapsto b_0 b b_0^{-1} = b b^{-1} b_0 b b_0^{-1}$. So, thing in the same conjugacy class in $B$ are also in the same unipotent orbit.
Naturally, $B/[B,B]$ is abelian group, orbit being the (inner) conjugacy class.
