On Reidemeister torsion of flag manifolds of compact semisimple Lie groups
Cenap Özel
Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi, Türkiye
In this talk we calculate Reidemeister torsion of flag manifold
K/T of compact semi-simple Lie group K = SU(n + 1) using Reidemeister
torsion formula and Schubert calculus, where T is maximal torus of K. We find
that this number is 1. Also we explicitly calculate ring structure of integral
cohomology algebra of flag manifold K/T of compact semi-simple Lie group
K = SU(n + 1).
