Abstract

A generalized Dold space $P(S,X)$ is a far reaching generalization of the classical Dold manifolds $P(\mathbb S^m,\mathbb CP^n)$ introduced by Albrecht Dold in 1956 to give explicit generators in odd dimensions of Thom’s unoriented cobordism ring. A generalized Dold space $P(S,X)$ has the structure of a fibre bundle with fibre $X$. We shall discuss cohomology of a generalized Dold space fibred by complex flag manifolds over real projective spaces.
