Steenrod operations on the Chow ring of a classifying space

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We use the Steenrod algebra to study CH∗BG, the mod p Chow ring of the classifying space of G. We describe a localization property which relates a given G to its elementary abelian subgroups, and we study a number of particular cases, namely symmetric groups and Chevalley groups. It turns out that the Chow rings of these groups are completely determined by the abelian subgroups and their fusion.


The author uses the Steenrod algebra to study the Chow ring CH*BG of the classifying space of an algebraic group \(G\). The author describes the localization property which relates a given \(G\) to its elementary abelian subgroup, and gives some applications for a number of particular cases, namely symmetric groups and Chevalley groups. It turns out that the Chow rings of these groups are completely determined by the abelian subgroups and their fusion.
