Cartesian products of lens spaces and the Kunneth formula Verster, Jan Frans
Abstract
The graded cohomology groups of a cartesian product of two cellular spaces are expressible in terms of the cohomology groups of the factors. This relationship is given by the (split) short exact Runneth sequence. However the multiplicative structure on the cohomology of a cartesian product can in general not be derived by solely referring to the Runneth formula. In this thesis we explicitly exhibit the cup product structure on a cartesian product of two (standard) lens spaces. This result is obtained by analyzing the Runneth sequence and by making use of the particular geometry of the spaces involved.
