Abstract

In this paper, we classify simply connected closed smooth 1313-dimensional manifolds whose cohomology ring is isomorphic to that of \mbCP3×S7\mb{CP}^3\times S^7, up to diffeomorphism, homeomorphism, and homotopy equivalence. Furthermore, if such a manifold satisfies certain conditions, either itself or its connected sum with an exotic 1313-sphere Σ13\Sigma^{13} admits a Riemannian metric of non-negative sectional curvature. As an additional application of our classification, we classify the diagonal S1S^1-actions on S7×S7S^7\times S^7.
