A minimal set of generators for the cohomology is:
  • w2(r4) of degree 2
  • w1(r2) of degree 1
  • w1(r4) of degree 1
The Steenrod operations are as follows:
  • Sq1(w2(r4)) = w2(r4)w1(r4)
Here is a minimal system of equations:
  • (1)          w1(r2)2 + w1(r2)w1(r4) = 0
Stiefel-Whitney classes:
  • w1(r1) = w1(r2) + w1(r4)
  • w1(r2) = w1(r2)
  • w1(r3) = w1(r4)
  • w1(r4) = w1(r4)
  • w2(r4) = w2(r4)
Chern classes:
  • c1(r1) = w1(r2)2 + w1(r4)2
  • c1(r2) = w1(r2)2
  • c1(r3) = w1(r4)2
  • c1(r4) = w1(r4)2
  • c2(r4) = w2(r4)2
The algebra of Milnor constants is generated by:
  • c2(r4)
  • c1(r2)
  • c1(r1) + c1(r2)
  • Note: the only algebraic cycles in the cohomology are Chern classes.
The results above have been produced during the second run in April, 2008.
