A complex reductive (algebraic) monoid \(M\) is called rationally smooth if it has sufficiently mild singularities as a topological space. The author characterizes this class of monoids in combinatorial terms, and then uses his results to calculate the Betti numbers of certain projective, rationally smooth group embeddings using the ``monoid BB-decomposition''.
