Based on a presentation of the integral cohomology ring $H^{\\ast }(G/T)$ of the flag manifold $G/T$ in \\cite{DZ1} we have presented in \\cite{DZ2} an explicit and unified construction of the integral cohomology rings $H^{\\ast }(G)$ for the $1$--connected Lie groups $G$. In this paper we extend this construction to all compact Lie groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-02-02T09:12:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14M15", "55T10" ], "keywords": [ "compact lie group", "integral cohomology ring", "maximal torus", "flag manifold", "connected lie groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150200410D" } } }
