چکیده
Let G be an exceptional Lie group with a maximal torus T , and let Ap be the mod–p Steenrod algebra. Based on common properties in the Schubert presentation of the cohomology H∗(G/T ; Fp), we obtain a complete characterization for the Ap–algebra H ∗(G; Fp). 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 57T15; 14M15.

The integral cohomology of a complete flag manifold G/T
Let G be an exceptional Lie group with a maximal torus T ⊂ G. We present the integral cohomology ring H∗(G/T ) by a minimal set of Schubert classes on G/T . This completes the program of determining the integral cohomology of all complete flag manifolds G/T in the context of Schubert calculus. The results have been applied in [DZ3] to construct the integral cohomology of a simple Lie group G in...
متن کاملA note on the new basis in the mod 2 Steenrod algebra
The Mod $2$ Steenrod algebra is a Hopf algebra that consists of the primary cohomology operations, denoted by $Sq^n$, between the cohomology groups with $mathbb{Z}_2$ coefficients of any topological space. Regarding to its vector space structure over $mathbb{Z}_2$, it has many base systems and some of the base systems can also be restricted to its sub algebras. On the contrary, in ...
متن کاملInvariant elements in the dual Steenrod algebra
In this paper, we investigate the invariant elements of the dual mod $p$ Steenrod subalgebra ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ under the conjugation map $chi$ and give bounds on the dimensions of $(chi-1)({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$, where $({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$ is the dimension of ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ in degree $d$.
متن کاملThe Combinatorics of Steenrod Operations on the Cohomology of Grassmannians
The study of the action of the Steenrod algebra on the mod p cohomology of spaces has many applications to the topological structure of those spaces. In this paper we present combinatorial formulas for the action of Steenrod operations on the cohomology of Grassmannians, both in the Borel and the Schubert picture. We consider integral lifts of Steenrod operations, which lie in a certain Hopf al...
متن کاملSecondary Steenrod Operations in Cohomology of Infinite-Dimensional Projective Spaces
The important role of the Steenrod operations Sq in the description of the cohomology of topological spaces, the calculation of various spectral sequences, and the study of homotopy properties of topological spaces and their continuous maps is well known [1, 2]. Projective spaces, in particular RP∞ and CP∞ , play a special role in the construction of Steenrod operations and their computation. I...
