Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss the results of a recent joint work with A. Ruozzi on degree 3 cohomological invariants of groups which are neither simply connected nor adjoint. Using recent results of A. Merkurjev we obtain a description of these invariants and we show how our results relate to previous constructions. We also obtain further applications to algebras with orthogonal involution.
