Let G be a simple, connected, compact and simply-connected Lie group. If k is the field with characteristic zero, then the algebra of cohomology H*(G ; k) is the exterior algebra generated by the elements x1, …, xl of the odd dimension n1, …, nl; the integer l is the rank of G and is the dimension of G.
