| Aug 23, 2014 at 20:15 | comment | added | André Henriques | The proof of $\pi_3=\mathbb Z$ can be found in Bott's paper "An application of the Morse theory to the topology of Lie-groups" (1956). | |
| Feb 18, 2013 at 5:19 | comment | added | Mariano Suárez-Álvarez | @Anirbit: that cannot be true, for the product of semi-simple Lie groups is semisimple,and the $\pi_3$ of a product is the product of the $\pi_3$s. It is true for simple groups, though. | |

| Jun 30, 2010 at 14:47 | comment | added | Anirbit | Isn't for semi-simple Lie Groups isn't it true that $\pi_3(G)=\mathbb{Z}$? I would be happy to see explanations of this may be as a by-product of this discussion. I suppose this is important to see why the "level" of Chern-Simons theory is quantized. | |
