The author studies the Grassmannian of complex structures, which turns out to be diffeomorphic to \(SO(2n)/U(n)\). In an earlier paper [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 128, No. 8, 2465-2471 (2000; Zbl 0944.55010)], the author computed the integral cohomology of \(SO(2n)/U(n)\). Using two results on possible ring endomorphisms of this cohomology ring the author obtains several applications: 1. A space rationally homotopy equivalent to \(SO(2n)/ U(n)\) is homotopy equivalent; 2. Any self map on \(SO(2n)/U(n)\) has a periodic point of order 2; 3. The classical result that no sphere of dimension greater than 6 admits a complex structure; 4. Self homotopy equivalences act trivially on the odd rational homotopy groups of \(SO(2n)/U(n)\); 5. For \(n\geq 5\), \(SO(2n)/U(n)\) has infinitely many invariant geodesics for an arbitrary Riemannian metric.
