Realizing orders in rational sphere product algebras with three generators

Realizing orders in rational sphere product algebras with three generators
The realization problem asks which algebras can be realized as the cohomology of spaces. We study this problem in the context of the orders in a graded rational exterior algebra on three generators. An order is a subring whose underlying additive group is a lattice. We give conditions for when such an order is realizable, and in particular show that in the simply-connected case any order is realizable if the generators of the exterior algebra are of odd degree.

Abstract

The realization problem asks which algebras can be realized as the cohomology of spaces. We study this problem in the context of the orders in a graded rational exterior algebra on three generators. An order is a subring whose underlying additive group is a lattice. We give conditions for when such an order is realizable, and in particular show that in the simply-connected case any order is realizable if the generators of the exterior algebra are of odd degree.
