Abstract: We consider classes of algebraic manifolds $mathcalA$, of symplectic manifolds $mathcalS$, of symplectic manifolds with the hard Lefschetz property $mathcalHS$ and the class of cohomologically symplectic manifolds $mathcalCS$. For every class of manifolds $mathcalC$ we denote by $mathcalEC(pi,n)$ a subclass of $n$-dimensional essential manifolds with fundamental group $pi$. In this paper we prove that for all the above classes with symplectically aspherical form the condition $mathcalEC(pi,2n)eemptyset$ implies that $mathcalEC(pi,2n-2)eemptyset$ for every $n>2$. Also we prove that all the inclusions $mathcalEAsubsetmathcalEHSsubsetmathcalESsubsetmathcalECS$ are proper.

Review text

A closed, connected, orientable \(n\)-manifold \(M\) with fundamental group \(\pi\) is \textit{essential}, if there is a classifying map \(f: M\rightarrow K(\pi ,1)\) into the \((n-1)\)-skeleton of \(K(\pi ,1)\). This is the case if and only if the induced homomorphism \(f_* : H_n (M)\rightarrow H_n (K(\pi ,1))\) is non-trivial. \(M\) is \textit{rationally essential}, if a classifying map induces a nontrivial homomorphism \(f_* : H_n (M;\mathbb{Q})\rightarrow H_n (K(\pi ,1);\mathbb{Q})\).NEWLINENEWLINEFor a class \(\mathcal{C}\) of manifolds, \(\mathcal{EC}\) denotes the subclass of \(\mathcal{C}\) consisting of rationally essential manifolds, and \(\mathcal{C}(\pi ,n)\) denotes a subclass of \(\mathcal{C}\) consisting of \(n\)-dimensional manifolds with fundamental group \(\pi\). Let \(\mathcal{A}\), \(\mathcal{HS}\), \(\mathcal{S}\), \(\mathcal{CS}\) denote the class of algebraic, symplectic manifolds with the hard Lefschetz property, symplectic manifolds, and cohomologically symplectic manifolds, respectively. The author considers the question: For which groups \(\pi\) and values \(n\) is \(\mathcal{EC}(\pi ,n)\) non-empty?NEWLINENEWLINEDranishnikov and Rudyak conjectured that if \(\mathcal{C}\) is one of the first three classes and \(n>2\), then the condition \(\mathcal{EC}(\pi ,n)\neq \emptyset\) implies that \(\mathcal{EC}(\pi ,n-2)\neq \emptyset\).NEWLINENEWLINEThe author proves the weaker conjecture for all the above classes with symplectically aspherical \(2\)-form. Furthermore he proves that all inclusions \(\mathcal{EA}\subset \mathcal{EHS}\subset \mathcal{ES}\subset \mathcal{ECS}\) are proper.
