In this paper we study the relation of Euler characteristic with respect to cohomology with compact support in F$_{p}$-coefficient for the fibration of ENR's and generalize some properties on proper G-spaces for locally compact Lie group G.G.

The Weyl group of a compact connected Lie group is a reflection group. If such Lie groups are locally isomorphic, the representations of the Weyl groups are rationally equivalent. They need not however be equivalent as integral representations. Turning to the invariant theory, the rational cohomology of a classifying space is a ring of invariants, which is a polynomial ring. In the modular case, we will ask if rings of invariants are polynomial algebras, and if each of them can be realized as the mod p cohomology of a space, particularly for dihedral groups.

The center of the Lie group $SU(n)$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_n$. If $d$ divides $n$, the quotient $SU(n)/\mathbb{Z}_d$ is also a Lie group. Such groups are locally isomorphic, and their Weyl groups $W(SU(n)/\mathbb{Z}_d)$ are the symmetric group ${\sum}_n$. However, the integral representations of the Weyl groups are not equivalent. Under the mod $p$ reductions, we consider the structure of invariant rings $H^*(BT^{n-1};\mathbb{F}_p)^W$ for $W=W(SU(n)/\mathbb{Z}_d)$. Particularly, we ask if each of them is a polynomial ring. Our results show some polynomial and non-polynomial cases.

Some modular representations of reflection groups related to Weyl groups are considered. The rational cohomology of the classifying space of a compact connected Lie group G with a maximal torus T is expressed as the ring of invariants, H*(BG; ℚ) ≅ H*(BT; ℚ)^W(G), which is a polynomial ring. If such Lie groups are locally isomorphic, the rational representations of their Weyl groups are equivalent. However, the integral representations need not be equivalent. Under the mod p reductions, we consider the structure of the rings, particularly for the Weyl group of symplectic groups Sp(n) and for the alternating groups A_n as the subgroup of W(SU(n)). We will ask if such rings of invariants are polynomial rings, and if each of them can be realized as the mod p cohomology of a space. For n = 3, 4, the rings under a conjugate of W(Sp(n)) are shown to be polynomial, and for n = 6, 8, they are non-polynomial. The structures of H*(BT^n-1; 𝔽_p)^A_n will be also discussed for n = 3, 4.
