Let G be a compact, connected and simply connected Lie group, and ΩG the space of the loops in G based at the identity. I will present a way to compute the cohomology of the total space of a principal ΩG-bundle over a manifold M, from the cohomology of G, the differential forms on M and the characteristic classes of the bundle. If times permits, I will also cover the equivariant case.
