A 1930s conjecture of Hopf states that an even-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with positive sectional curvature has positive Euler characteristic. We prove this conjecture …
We provide geometric realizations of both classical and “exotic”-manifolds such as spheres, Kervaire manifolds, bundles over spheres, homogeneous spaces, and connected sums …
We present a construction of closed 7-manifolds of holonomy G_2, which generalises Kovalev's twisted connected sums by taking quotients of the pieces in the construction …
In this paper, we give a classification of cohomogeneity one manifolds admitting an invariant metric with quasipositive sectional curvature except for two 7-dimensional families. The main …

Let $ M $ be a Milnor sphere or, more generally, the total space of a linear $ S^ 3$-bundle over $ S^ 4$ with $ H^ 4 (M;\mathbb {Q})= 0$. We show that the moduli space of metrics of …
Under mild topological restrictions, this article establishes that a smooth, closed, simply connected manifold of dimension at most seven which can be decomposed as the union of …

Generalizing the foundational work of Grove and Searle, the second author proved upper bounds on the ranks of isometry groups of closed Riemannian manifolds with positive …

On a real analytic Riemannian manifold a Grauert tube is an uniquely adapted complex structure defined on the tangent bundle. It is called entire if it may be defined on the whole …
