The cohomology ring of the orientable Seifert manifolds. II (Q1868893)

The purpose of the authors is to compute the cohomology ring with \(\mathbb{Z}/p\) coefficients (where \(p\) is a prime number) of an arbitrary orientable Seifert manifold \(M\). Furthermore, they generalize some results contained in a previous paper [\textit{J. Bryden} and \textit{P. Zvengrowski}, The cohomology algebras of orientable Seifert manifolds and applications to Lusternik-Schnirelmann category, in: Homotopy and Geometry, Banach Cent. Publ. 45, 25-39 (1998; Zbl 0939.57018)] so that certain invariants of 3-manifolds arising in topological quantum field theory (as for example the abelian Witten-Rshetikhin-Turaev type invariants and the Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants) can be completely computed for some classes of Seifert manifolds (see also [\textit{J. Bruyden} and \textit{F. Deloup}, The Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants of the orientable Seifert manifolds, to appear]). Finally, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a degree one map from an orientable Seifert manifold into a lens space complete the paper.
