Rational toral rank of a map

Abstract

Let XX and YY be simply connected CW complexes with finite rational cohomologies. The rational toral rank r0(X)r_0(X) of a space XX is the largest integer rr such that the torus TrT^r can act continuously on a CW-complex in the rational homotopy type of XX with all its isotropy subgroups finite \cite{H}. As a rational homotopical condition to be a toral map preserving almost free toral actions for a map f:XYf:X\to Y, we define the rational toral rank r0(f)r_0(f) of ff, which is a natural invariant with r0(idX)=r0(X)r_0(id_X)=r_0(X) for the identity map idXid_X of XX. We will see some properties of it by Sullivan models, which is a free commutative differential graded algebra over \Q\Q \cite{FHT}.
