Positive curvature and rational ellipticity in cohomogeneity three

Differential Geometry 2025-05-29 v1

Abstract

We prove that a closed, simply connected, positively curved, cohomogeneity-three manifold whose quotient space has no boundary is rationally elliptic, thus providing a generalization of similar results regarding rational ellipticity of homogeneous, cohomogeneity-one, and almost non-negatively curved cohomogeneity-two manifolds.
