Let G be a simple, connected, compact and simply-connected Lie group. If k is the field with characteristic zero, then the algebra of cohomology H*(G ; k) is the exterior algebra generated by the elements x1, …, xl of the odd dimension n1, …, nl; the integer l is the rank of G and is the dimension of G.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
