On the cohomology ring and upper characteristic rank of Grassmannian of oriented 3-planes

Abstract: In this paper we study the mod 2 cohomology ring of the Grasmannian Gn,3 of oriented 3-planes in R n . We determine the degrees of the indecomposable elements in the cohomology ring. We also obtain an almost complete description of the cohomology ring. This partial description allows us to provide lower and upper bounds on the cup length of Gn,3. As another application, we show that the upper characteristic rank of Gn,3 equals the characteristic rank of γn,3, the oriented tautological bundle over Gn,3.

“…Now that we are done with the examples, we are ready to discuss some patterns. Similar to the case k = 3 studied in [1] we predict there will be indecomposable element a 2 t in H 2 t ( G 2 t +1,4 ) reflecting the case for H * ( G 2 t ,3 ).…”

“…However, the cohomology ring of the oriented Grassmann manifold G n,k is not fully generated by the characteristic classes w i ( γ n,k ) and is not known in general. There are descriptions of H * ( G n,k ; Z 2 ) for spheres G n,1 ∼ = S n−1 , complex quadrics G n,2 , and in [1] for G n, 3 as well.…”
