Abstract: Let GO(2n) be the general orthogonal group scheme (the group of orthogonal similitudes). In the topological category, Y. Holla and N. Nitsure determined the singular cohomology ring Hmsing(BGO(2n,mathbbC),mathbbF2) of the classifying space BGO(2n,mathbbC) of the corresponding complex Lie group GO(2n,mathbbC) in terms of explicit generators and relations. The author of the present note showed that over any algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to 2, the smooth-'etale cohomology ring Hmsmet(BGO(2n),mathbbF2) of the classifying algebraic stack BGO(2n) has the same description in terms of generators and relations as the singular cohomology ring Hmsing(BGO(2n,mathbbC),mathbbF2). Totaro defined for any reductive group G over a field, the Chow ring AG, which is canonically identified with the ring of characteristic classes in the sense of intersection theory, for principal G-bundles, locally trivial in 'etale topology. In this paper, we calculate the Chow group AGO(2n) over any field of characteristic different from 2 in terms of generators and relations.
