Bounds for the cup-length of Poincare spaces and their applications

Abstract

Our main result offers a new (quite systematic) way of deriving bounds for the cup-length of Poincare spaces over fields; we outline a general research program based on this result. For the oriented Grassmann manifolds, already a limited realization of the program leads, in many cases, to the exact values of the cup-length and to interesting information on the Lyusternik-Shnirel'man category.
