Hereditary properties of co-Kähler manifolds

Abstract: We show how certain topological properties of co-K{\"a}hler manifolds derive from those of the K\"ahler manifolds which construct them. We go beyond Betti number results and describe the cohomology algebra structure of co-K\"ahler manifolds. As a consequence, we prove that co-K\"ahler manifolds satisfy the Toral Rank Conjecture: $\dim(H^*(M;\mathbb{Q})) \geq 2^r$, for any $r$-torus $T^r$ which acts almost freely on $M$.
