Mod-p cohomological rigidity conjecture for classifying spaces of compact Lie groups
Mod-p cohomological rigidity conjecture for classifying spaces of compact Lie groups
Let be a compact connected Lie group, let be a -complete space, and let denote the mod- Steenrod algebra. Suppose that
as algebras over . Cohomological rigidity conjecture. Then
The claim asks whether the mod- Steenrod-algebra cohomology of a compact Lie group's classifying space determines its -completion among -complete spaces. The paper states this as a conjecture and proves the corresponding rigidity result for when , extending earlier results for ; no general resolution is supplied.
