Abstract: We compute the Chow ring of the classifying space BSO(2n,C) in the sense of Totaro using the fibration Gl(2n)/SO(2n)oBSO(2n)oBGl(2n) and a computation of the Chow ring of Gl(2n)/SO(2n) in a previous paper. We find this Chow ring is generated by Chern classes and a characteristic class defined by Edidin and Graham which maps to 2nβˆ’1 times the Euler class under the usual class map from the Chow ring to ordinary cohomology. Moreover, we show this class represents 1/2nβˆ’1(nβˆ’1)! times the nth Chern class of the representation of SO(2n) whose highest weight vector is twice that of the half-spin representation.
