Torsion in BBSO

James D. Stasheff

Vol. 28 (1969), No. 3, 677–680
Abstract

The cohomology of BBSO, the classifying space for the stable Grassmanian BSO, is shown to have torsion of order precisely 2r for each natural number r. Moreover, the elements of order 2r appear in a pattern of striking simplicity.
