Almost positively curved generalized Eschenburg spaces

Abstract

In each dimension of the form 4n14n-1 with n3n\geq 3, we construct infinitely many new examples of manifolds admitting metrics with positive sectional curvature almost everywhere. In addition, we show that if n6n\geq 6, infinitely many of our examples are not homotopy equivalent to any homogeneous space, providing the first infinite family of such examples.
