Cohomology rings of certain seven dimensional manifolds
We calculate the cohomology rings of a collection of seven dimensional manifolds supporting an S^3 x S^3-action with one dimensional orbit space. These manifolds are of interest to differential geometers studying non-negative and positive sectional curvature. From this collection, we identify several families of manifolds for which there exist well-known topological invariants distinguishing homeomorphism and diffeomorphism types.
