The Grothendieck groups of equivariant modules supported in conjugacy class
es of nilpotent matrices are investigated. The generators given by twisted
modules corresponding to dominant weights in the case of the set of nilpote
nt matrices are given.
Finally the formulas relating the characters of twisted modules for differe
nt conjugacy classes are given by means of degeneration sequences. (C) 2000
