Seven dimensional cohomogeneity one manifolds with nonnegative curvature

Differential Geometry 2018-04-20 v2

Abstract

We show that a certain family of cohomogeneity one manifolds does not admit an invariant metric of nonnegative sectional curvature, unless it admits one with positive curvature. As a consequence, the classification of nonnegatively curved cohomogeneity one manifolds in dimension 7 is reduced to only one further family of candidates
