Cohomology of classifying spaces of rank 3 Kac-Moody groups

We represent the rational and mod $p$ cohomology groups of classifying spaces of rank 3 Kac-Moody groups by a direct sum of the invariants of Weyl groups and their quotients. As an application, the authors conclude that there is a $p$-torsion for each prime $p$ in the integral cohomology groups of classifying spaces of rank 3 Kac-Moody groups. We also determine the ring structure of the rational cohomology with one exception case.

The rational cohomology groups of the classifying spaces of Kac-Moody groups

In this paper, we compute the rational cohomology groups of the classifying space of a simply connected Kac-Moody group of infinite type. The fundamental principle is "from finite to infinite". That is, for a Kac-Moody group G(A) of infinite type, the input data for computation are the rational cohomology of classifying spaces of parabolic subgroups of G(A)(which are of finite type), and the homomorphisms induced by inclusions of these subgroups. In some special cases, we can further determine the cohomology rings. Our method also applies to study the mod p cohomology of the classifying spaces of Kac-Moody groups.
