Quasi-positive curvature on Bazaikin spaces

Differential Geometry 2021-07-08 v1

Abstract

We completely characterize the sectional curvature of all of the 1313-dimensional Bazaikin spaces. In particular, we show that all Bazaikin spaces admit a quasi-positively curved Riemannian metric, and that, up to isometry, there is a unique Bazaikin space which is almost positively curved but not positively curved.
