Abstract:

We complete the study of the topological period-index problem over $8$-dimensional connected finite CW complexes started in a preceding paper. More precisely, we determine the sharp upper bound of the index of a topological Brauer class $\alpha \in H^3(X;\mathbb Z)$, where $X$ is of the homotopy type of an $8$-dimensional finite CW complex and the period of $\alpha$ is divisible by $4$.
