Atiyah–Bott formula

In algebraic geometry, the Atiyah–Bott formula says^[1] the cohomology ring

\operatorname {H}^{*}(\operatorname {Bun}_{G}(X),{\mathbb {Q}}_{l})

of the moduli stack of principal bundles is a free graded-commutative algebra on certain homogeneous generators. Atiyah and Bott's original work concerned integral cohomology ring of Bun_G(X).
