Abstract
In order to get results of non-embedding of flag-manifolds in the total space of sphere bundles we consider algebraic properties of these two families of manifolds.
The main theorem (2.3) gives a general a non-embedding result in terms of algebraic invariants and this theorem is applied to the case of the flag-manifolds.
