    <div align="left"><b><b><font color="#ff0000">Abstract:</font></b></b><font
        color="#ff0000"><font color="#000000"> A long-standing Rank
          Conjecture states that if an elementary abelian p-group acts
          freely on a product of spheres, then the rank of the group is
          at most the number of spheres in the product. We will discuss
          the algebraic version of the Rank Conjecture given by Carlsson
          for a differential graded module M over a polynomial ring. We
          will state a stronger conjecture concerning varieties of
          square-zero upper triangular matrices corresponding to the
          differentials of certain modules. By the work on free flags in
          M introduced by Avramov, Buchweitz, and Iyengar, we will
          obtain some restriction on the rank of submodules of these
          matrices. By this argument we will show that  (Z/2Z)^4 cannot
          act freely on product of 3 spheres of any dimensions. <br>
