Abstract:

A simply connected topological space is called elliptic if both $\pi _*(X, \mathbb {Q})$ and $H^*(X, \mathbb {Q})$ are finite-dimensional $\mathbb {Q}$-vector spaces. In this paper, we consider fibrations for which the fibre $X$ is elliptic and $H^*(X, \mathbb {Q})$ is evenly graded. We show that in the generic cases, the genus of such a fibration is completely determined by generalized Chern classes of the fibration.
