The rational Pontryagin classes, evaluated on fiber bundles where the fiber is a 2n-dimensional euclidean space, can be nonzero in cohomology dimensions much greater than 4n. This makes a striking contrast with the Pontryagin classes of vector bundles.

  1. The cohomology of Torelli groups is algebraic

    math.AT 2019-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    For 2n ≥ 6 and g ≥ 2, the rational cohomology of the Torelli group of W_g = #^g S^n × S^n is an algebraic representation of Sp_{2g} or O_{g,g}, and its classifying space is nilpotent.
