Abstract

The different methods used to classify rational homotopy types of manifolds are in general fascinating and various (see [1,7,8]). In this paper we are interested to a particular case, that of simply connected elliptic spaces, denoted X, by discussing its cohomological dimension. Here we will the discuss the case when dimH*( Χ ;Q)=8 and χ(Χ)=0.
