Tóm tắt

This note contains a partial generalization of the results of (3). We extend to arbitrary n and k the complete determination of the cases in which cup length is strictly less than the maximum possible value dim Gn, k(R) = nk. We also show that the Lusternik–Schnirelmann category cat Gn, k(R) < nk in the same cases.
