Nilpotence in group cohomology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2012
Abstract
We study bounds on nilpotence in H*(BG), the mod p cohomology of the classifying space of a compact Lie group G. Part of this is a report of our previous work on this problem, updated to reflect the consequences of Peter Symonds's recent verification of Dave Benson's Regularity Conjecture. New results are given for finite p-groups, leading to good bounds on nilpotence in H*(BP) determined by the subgroup structure of the p-group P.
