Abstract
Based on a pair of cohomology operations on so called -formal spaces, we construct the integral cohomology rings of the classifying spaces of the Lie groups and . As applications, we introduce characteristic classes for the reduced topological theory, determine the ring of integral Weyl invariants of the group , and demonstrate their usages in spin geometry.
