Abstract. Using fiberings, we determine the cup-length and the Lyusternik-Shnirel'man category for some infinite families of real flag manifoldsWe also give, or describe ways to obtain, interesting estimates for the cup-length of any O(n 1 + . . .To present another approach (combining well with the "method of fiberings"), we generalize to the real flag manifolds Stong's approach used for calculations in the Z 2 -cohomology algebra of the Grassmann manifolds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
