p-compact groups are the homotopy analogues of compact Lie groups. The torus-equivariant cohomology of p-compact flag varieties can be described as a quotient ring of polynomials. I will give another description of this cohomology via moment graph theory and its relation with the polynomial description, generalizing results of Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson from classical Schubert calculus
