Cohomogeneity one manifolds with singly generated rational cohomology II

Differential Geometry 2021-08-26 v1

Abstract

We classify cohomogeneity one actions on smooth, simply connected, closed manifolds with the rational cohomology of a sphere. In particular, we show that such a manifold is diffeomorphic to a sphere, a Brieskorn variety, the Wu manifold SU(3)/SO(3)SU(3)/SO(3), one of two homogeneous spaces of the form G2/SU(2)\mathbf{G}_2/SU(2),or a member of a particular four-parameter family of 77-manifolds.
