Hauschild, V.
Discriminants, resultants and a conjecture of S. Halperin. (English)
[J] Jahresber. Dtsch. Math.-Ver. 104, No.1, 26-47 (2002). ISSN 0012-0456

The Halperin conjecture states that for every orientable fibration $X\to Y\to B$ with fibre $X$ a space of type $F_0$ (i.e. $\dim \pi_* (X)\otimes Q<\infty$, $H^{\text{odd}}(X,\bbfQ)=0$, and $\dim H^*(X,\bbfQ) <\infty)$ the Serre spectral sequence degenerates at the term $E_2$. The conjecture has been proved for a large family of spaces of type $F_0$, for example for homogeneous spaces $G/H$ of rank zero by Shiga and Tezuka, and in the case of $H^*(X,\bbfQ)$ being generated by $\ge 3$ elements by Hao Chen. The paper under review contains a very nice survey on the subject. The author also introduces differential calculus and algebraic geometry around the conjecture. Consider all the algebras of the form $\bbfQ[a_1, \dots,a_n]/(f_1, \dots,f_n)$ where $n$, the degrees of the $a_i$ and the degrees of the homogeneous polynomials $f_i$ are fixed. Each sequence $(f_1,\dots,f_n)$ corresponds to a point in some $\bbfQ^N$. The sequence is regular if some resultant does not vanish. Therefore regular sequences form a Zariski open set $V$. The author proves that the sequences $(f_1,\dots,f_n)$ that satisfy the Halperin conjecture form an open subset of $W$.
