On the p-primary subgroups of the cohomology of the classifying spaces of PUn

Zhilei Zhang, Linan Zhong

Abstract

Let $PU_n$ denote the projective unitary group of rank $n$, and let $BPU_n$ be its classifying space. We extend our previous results to a description of $H^s(BPU_n;\mathbb{Z})_{(p)}$ for $s<2p+9$ by showing that $p$-primary subgroups of $H^s(BPU_n;\mathbb{Z})$ is $\mathbb{Z}/p$ for $s=2p+5$ and are trivial for $s = 2p+7$ and $s = 2p+8$, where $p$ is an odd prime.
