Determination of compact Lie groups with the Borsuk-Ulam property

Algebraic Topology 2021-07-29 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we shall discuss the classical question of which compact Lie groups have the Borsuk-Ulam property and in particular we shall show that every extension group of a n-torus by a cyclic group of prime order does not have the Borsuk-Ulam property. This leads us that the only compact Lie groups with the Borsuk-Ulam property are an elementary abelian p-group and an n-torus, which is a final answer to the question.
