On the Borel transgression in the fibration $G\rightarrow G/T$ (1710.03014v1)
Published 9 Oct 2017 in math.AT
Abstract: Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group with a maximal torus $T$. We present an explicit formula for the Borel transgression $\tau :H{1}(T)\rightarrow H{2}(G/T)$ of the fibration $G\rightarrow G/T$. This formula corrects an error in the paper \cite{K}, and has been applied to construct the integral cohomology rings of compact Lie groups in the sequel works \cite{D,DZ2}.
