Abstract

We study the existence of maps of nonzero Brouwer degree between two orientable, equal-dimensional generalized Dold manifolds (GDMs) fibered by complex partial flag manifolds over real projective spaces. The GDMs considered here are obtained as orbit spaces of the diagonal involution on the product of a sphere and a complex partial flag manifold, acting antipodally on the sphere and by complex conjugation on the flag manifold. We show that no map of nonzero degree exists between two distinct GDMs when their base real projective spaces are different, except in one exceptional case. Furthermore, when the base real projective spaces coincide but fibers are distinct, we prove the nonexistence of maps of nonzero degree in most cases, including those in which at least one of the fibers is not a Grassmannian. As an application of our study, we establish cohomological rigidity for the class of products of a sphere with a complex or quaternionic partial flag manifold.
