Given a homology theory E and an E-orientable manifold M, there exists a fundamental class in the E homology of M.  Some homology theories, including ordinary homology with rational coefficients, are “ambidextrous”—-they admit fundamental classes not only for manifolds, but also manifolds equipped with finite group actions.  I will give a brief introduction to these ambidextrous theories and then turn to some recent applications of them.  In particular, they have been applied by Abouzaid—Blumberg and Abouzaid—McLean—Smith within symplectic topology, by a number of people to the study of etale cohomology in arithmetic geometry, and to the problem of constructing continuous maps between spheres.
