Almost Diameter Rigidity for the Cayley Plane

dg-ga 2008-02-03 v1 Differential Geometry

Abstract

In this paper we give a generalisation of the Radius Rigidity theorem of F.Wilhelm. This is done by showing that if a Riemannian submersion of S15S^{15} with 7-dimensional fibres has at least one fibre which is a great sphere then all the fibres are so. Some weaker than known conditions which force the existence of such a fibre are also discussed.
