Abstract

In this paper we investigate the problem of the cohomological classification of "Quaternionic" vector bundles in low-dimension (d3d\leqslant 3). We show that there exists a characteristic classes κ\kappa, called the FKMM-invariant, which takes value in the relative equivariant Borel cohomology and completely classifies "Quaternionic" vector bundles in low-dimension. The main subject of the paper concerns a discussion about the surjectivity of κ\kappa.
