Cup-length of oriented Grassmann manifolds via Gröbner bases (Q6140047)

In the paper under review, the authors successfully compute the \(\mathbb{Z}_2\)-cup-length of \(\widetilde{G}_{n,3}\), the Grassmann manifold of oriented 3-planes in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), for all values of \(n\). This calculation serves to confirm a conjecture proposed by \textit{T. Fukaya} [Homology Homotopy Appl. 10, No. 2, 195--209 (2008; Zbl 1156.57029)]. In their study, the authors also determine the heights of the Stiefel-Whitney classes of the canonical vector bundle over \(\widetilde{G}_{n,3}\). To establish their findings, the authors heavily rely on the theory of Gröbner bases.
