Topological groups satisfying the Borel transgression theorem
I am using the Borel transgression theorem as given in Mimura and Toda's "Topology of Lie groups I and II", page 378, Theorem 2.7. I know that it applies when the fiber has the homotopy type ...

Classifying space of a non-discrete group and relationship between group homology and topological homology of Lie groups
I have a very soft question which might be very standard in textbooks or literature but I haven't seen it.
To a fixed group $G$ we may attach different topologies to make it different topological ...

Cohomology ring $H^*(BG,\mathbb{Z}_2)$ for $G=\mathbb{Z}_2\ltimes B^2\mathbb{Z}^2$
$$
\newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb{Z}}
$$
Consider the group $G=\Z_2\ltimes B^2\Z^2$ where $\Z_2$ acts on $\Z^2$ by interchanging the two factors of $\Z^2$, hence $\Z_2$ also acts on the Eilenberg-MacLane ...

Cohomology of BG, G non-connected Lie group, and spectral sequence relating to classifying space of connected component of the identity
Suppose $G$ is a Lie group, with $\pi_0(G)$ not necessarily finite, but might as well assume $G_0$, the connected component of the identity, is compact.
In the case that $\pi_0(G)$ is finite, then we ...

fibrations of classifying spaces - Leray Hirsch Theorem converse
Let $G$ be a topological group and let $H$ be a closed subgroup. Assume that $G \rightarrow G/H$ is a principal $H$-bundle. We have a fibration of classyifing spaces
$$G/H \rightarrow BH \rightarrow ...

Calculating topological index
Consider the space $X=BSL(8,\mathbb{C})/(\mathbb{Z}/2)$. The topological Brauer group of $X$ is given by $Br_{top}(X)=Tor(H^{3}(X;\mathbb{Z}))=\mathbb{Z}/2$. I'm studying concepts of topological ...

Oriented Bordism Group and Un-Oriented Bordism Group of points $pt$
Do we know, or are there any References that list down complete oriented and unoriented Bordism Group $Ω_{n,O}(pt)$ and $Ω_{n,SO}(pt)$ of points $pt$ for dimensions $n=1,2,...,10$?
Here are some ...

Torsion in the Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence of a classifying space
Let $G$ be a compact, connected Lie group. There is an Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence
$$H^*(BG;K^*) \implies K^*(BG)$$
connecting $H^*BG$, which generally contains torsion, with $K^*BG \cong \...
