Abstract
A torus manifold is a -dimensional orientable manifold with an effective action of an -dimensional torus such that . In this paper we discuss the classification of torus manifolds which admit an invariant metric of non-negative curvature. If is a simply connected torus manifold which admits such a metric, then is diffeomorphic to a quotient of a free linear torus action on a product of spheres. We also classify rationally elliptic torus manifolds with up homeomorphism.
