Abstract

For n a power of two, we give a complete description of the cohomology algebra H*(n,3; ℤ2) of the Grassmann manifold n,3 of oriented 3-planes in ℝn. We do this by finding a reduced Gröbner basis for an ideal closely related to this cohomology algebra. Using this Gröbner basis we also present an additive basis for H*(n,3; ℤ2).
