This applies to the special case of real algebraic varieties, solving the problem first stated by Biswas and D'Mello in \\cite{biswas&d'mello:symmetric_products_M-curves} about symmetric products of Maximal curves. We also give characterisations of these spaces and state a new definition that generalises to a larger class of spaces. Then, we extend the characterisation in terms of the Borel cohomology given in \\cite{us} to the new family. Finally, we introduce the notion of cohomological stability and cohomological splitting, provide a systematic treatment and relate them with the properties of being a Maximal or Galois-Maximal space. These cohomological properties play an important role in the proof of our main theorem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-03-15T00:23:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14F45", "14P25", "55N91" ], "keywords": [ "symmetric products", "galois-maximal varieties", "finite galois-maximal space", "real algebraic varieties", "maximal curves" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
