Abstract
We present a construction (and classification) of certain invariant 2-forms on the real symplectic group. They are used to define a symplectic form on the quotient by a maximal torus and to ''lift'' a symplectic structure from a symplectic manifold to the bundle of frames. This is a by-product of a failed attempt to prove certain finiteness theorems for basic symplectic cohomologies. In the last part of the paper we include a valid proof.

Key words: symplectic cohomology; basic cohomology.
