Friedlander–Milnor conjecture for Lie groups

Let GG be a Lie group. Regard BGBG as the classifying space of the underlying discrete topological group, and let BGtopBG^{\rm top} be the classifying space with its usual topology. The canonical map

ψ:BGBGtop\psi:BG\longrightarrow BG^{\rm top}

is induced by the identity on the underlying group. Friedlander–Milnor conjecture. The map ψ\psi induces isomorphisms on homology and cohomology with every finite abelian coefficient group. This is a comparison conjecture between discrete and topological classifying spaces of Lie groups.
