Almost complex manifolds with total Betti number three
Abstract
We show the minimal total Betti number of a closed almost complex manifold of dimension 2n 8 is four, thus confirming a conjecture of Sullivan except for dimension 6. Along the way, we prove the only simply connected closed complex manifold having total Betti number three is the complex projective plane.
