Abstract
In this paper, we classify simply connected closed smooth -dimensional manifolds whose cohomology ring is isomorphic to that of , up to diffeomorphism, homeomorphism, and homotopy equivalence. Furthermore, if such a manifold satisfies certain conditions, either itself or its connected sum with an exotic -sphere admits a Riemannian metric of non-negative sectional curvature. As an additional application of our classification, we classify the diagonal -actions on .
