Rational toral rank conjecture

Let XX be a nilpotent finite CW-complex. Its rational torus rank rk0(X){\operatorname{rk}}_0(X) is the largest integer nn for which a torus TnT^n acts almost freely on a finite CW-complex having the same rational homotopy type as XX. Rational toral rank conjecture. The total rational cohomology dimension satisfies

dimQH(X,Q)2rk0(X).\dim_{\mathbb{Q}} H^*(X,\mathbb{Q})\geq 2^{{\operatorname{rk}}_0(X)}.

This is the rational formulation of the Halperin–Carlsson conjecture and connects torus actions with Sullivan models and rational homotopy theory. The source presents it as a longstanding conjecture.
