A new lower bound is obtained relating the rational cohomological length of the base and that of the total space of branched coverings of orientable manifolds for the case in which the branched covering is a projection onto the quotient space by the action of commuting involutions on the total space. This bound is much stronger than the classical Burstein–Edmonds 1978 bound which holds for arbitrary branched coverings of orientable manifolds. In the framework of the theory of branched coverings, results are obtained that are motivated by the problems concerning $n$-valued topological groups. We explicitly construct $m-1$ commuting involutions acting as automorphisms on the torus $T^m$ with the orbit space $\mathbb{R}P^m$ for any odd $m\ge 3$. By the construction thus obtained, the manifold $\mathbb{R}P^m$ carries the structure of an $2^{m-1}$-valued Abelian topological group for all odd $m\ge 3$.
Keywords: actions of finite groups, cohomological length, branched coverings of manifolds, $n$-valued groups.
