How to Compute Transgressions in a Serre Spectral Sequence?

For a short exact sequence of groups $1\rightarrow A\rightarrow B\rightarrow C\rightarrow 1$ there is an associated fibration $K(A,1)\rightarrow K(B,1)\rightarrow K(C,1)$, which can be constructed by ...

When is the cohomology of a fiber bundle a tensor product?

Let $F\rightarrow E\rightarrow B$ be a fiber bundle. Let $\pi_1$ be the fundamental group of $B$ with base point say $b_0$. In the following we are considering cohomology with coefficients in $\mathbb{...

The $\pi_1(BM)$ action on $H^*(BH,R)$ in a Serre fibration $BH\to BG\to BM$

$R$ is a ring. Applying the Serre spectral sequence to a fibration $F\to E\to B$, to avoid local coefficients, we need to require that $\pi_1(B)$ acts on $H^*(F, R)$ trivially. Consider a fibration of ...
