Abstract
Apart from spheres and an infinite family of manifolds in dimension seven, Bazaikin spaces are the only known examples of simply connected Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature in odd dimensions. We consider positively curved Riemannian manifolds whose universal covers have the same cohomology as Bazaikin spaces and prove structural results for the fundamental group in the presence of torus symmetry
