Abstract

Let c:SU(n)PSU(n)=SU(n)/Znc:SU(n)\rightarrow PSU(n)=SU(n)/\mathbb{Z}_{n} be the quotient map of the special unitary group SU(n)SU(n) by its center subgroup Zn\mathbb{Z}_{n}. We determine the induced homomorphism c:c^{\ast}: H(PSU(n))H(SU(n))H^{\ast}(PSU(n))\rightarrow H^{\ast}(SU(n)) on cohomologies by computing with the prime orders of binomial coefficients
