Abstract
Let $X$ be a finitistic space with the mod 2 cohomology of the product space of a projective space and a 4-sphere. Assume that $X$ admits a free involution. In this paper we study the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the quotient of $X$ by the action of the free involution and derive some consequences regarding the existence of $\mathbb{Z}_2$-equivariant maps between such $X$ and an $n$-sphere.
期刊介绍:
Since its foundation in 1937, Portugaliae Mathematica has aimed at publishing high-level research articles in all branches of mathematics. With great efforts by its founders, the journal was able to publish articles by some of the best mathematicians of the time. In 2001 a New Series of Portugaliae Mathematica was started, reaffirming the purpose of maintaining a high-level research journal in mathematics with a wide range scope.
