Positively curved 7-dimensional manifolds
Abstract
Description
We deal with seven dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds of positive curvature which admit a cohomogeneity one action by a compact Lie group G. We prove that the manifold is diffeomorphic to a sphere if the dimension of the semisimple part of G is bigger than 6.
