Bogomolov's vanishing conjecture for finite simple groups

Let GG be a finite simple group. The unramified cohomology group Hnr2(G)H^2_{\rm nr}(G) is identified with the Bogomolov multiplier B0(G)B_0(G).

Bogomolov's conjecture.

Hnr2(G)=B0(G)=0.H^2_{\rm nr}(G)=B_0(G)=0.

This conjecture asserts that finite simple groups do not produce nontrivial degree-two birational invariants. It is presented as a particular case of the broader hypothesis that all nonramified cohomology of finite simple groups is trivial; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
