Abstract
For a complex analytic variety with an action of a finite group and for an invariant 1-form on it, we give an equivariant version (with values in the Burnside ring of the group) of the local Euler obstruction of the 1-form and describe its relation with the equivariant radial index defined earlier. This leads to equivariant versions of the local Euler obstruction of a complex analytic space and of the global Euler obstruction.
