On almost free torus actions and Horrocks conjecture

Algebraic Topology 2016-02-09 v2

Abstract

We construct a model for cohomology of a space XX equipped with a torus TT action, whose homotopy orbit space XTX_{T} is formal. This model represents Koszul complex of its equivariant cohomology. Studying homological properties of modules over polynomial ring we derive new bounds on homological rank (dimension of cohomology ring) of XX equipped with almost free torus action. We give a proof of toral rank conjecture for spaces with formal quotient in the case of torus dimension 5\le5.
