Abstract: We discuss the question of geometric formality for rationally elliptic manifolds of dimension 6 and 7. We prove that a geometrically formal six-dimensional biquotient with b2=3 has the real cohomology of a symmetric space. We also show that a rationally hyperbolic six-dimensional manifold with b2leq2 and b3=0 can not be geometrically formal. As it follows from their real homotopy classification, the seven-dimensional geometrically formal rationally elliptic manifolds have the real cohomology of symmetric spaces as well.
