Abstract:
We consider a model for cohomology groups of a space $X$ with an
action of torus, representing Koszul complex of its equivariant
cohomology. Studying homological properties of modules over polynomial
ring we derive new estimates on homological rank (total dimension of
rational cohomology) of $X$. In particular, we obtain simple proof of
toral rank conjecture in the case of torus dimension $\le 4$.
