Examples of Riemannian manifolds with positive curvature almost everywhere

P Petersen, F Wilhelm - Geometry & Topology, 1999 - msp.org
We show that the unit tangent bundle of S 4 and a real cohomology ℂ P 3 admit Riemannian
metrics with positive sectional curvature almost everywhere. These are the only examples so …

The Gromoll-Meyer construction of an exotic 7-sphere is generalized by producing
geometric models of exotic 8-, 10-and Kervaire spheres as quotients of principal bundles …

Positive Ricci curvature through Cheeger deformations
