On the Borel transgression in the fibration $G\rightarrow G/T$

Algebraic Topology 2020-01-23 v1

Abstract

Let GG be a semisimple Lie group with a maximal torus TT. We present an explicit formula for the Borel transgression τ:H1(T)H2(G/T)\tau :H^{1}(T)\rightarrow H^{2}(G/T) of the fibration GG/TG\rightarrow G/T. This formula corrects an error in the paper \cite{K}, and has been applied to construct the integral cohomology rings of compact Lie groups in the sequel works \cite{D,DZ2}.
