This is a survey of recent results on manifolds with positive curvature from a series of lecture given in Guanajuato, Mexico in 2010. It also contains some hitsorical comments.
In this paper we introduce two new notions of sectional curvature for Riemannian manifolds with density. Under both notions of curvature we classify the constant curvature manifolds. We also prove generalizations of the theorems of…
We show that the unit tangent bundle of S^4 and a real cohomology CP^3 admit Riemannian metrics with positive sectional curvature almost everywhere. These are the only examples so far with positive curvature almost everywhere that are not…
We survey all results concerning the topology of complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature that have no additional conditions other than restrictions to the dimension, volume growth or diameter growth of the…
We provide new examples of manifolds which admit a Riemannian metric with sectional curvature nonnegative, and strictly positive at one point. Our examples include the unit tangent bundles of $CP^n$, $HP^n$ and $CaP^2$, and a family of lens…
In this paper, we construct a complete n-dim Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature, quadratically nonnegatively curved infinity and infinite topological type. This gives a negative answer to a conjecture by Jiping Sha and…
In this note we extend a recent result of S. Brendle [3] to Riemannian manifolds with densities and nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature.
We present examples, both compact and non-compact complete, of lo- cally non-homogeneous proper A-manifolds.
We give a sufficient condition to rule out complete Riemannian metrics with nonnegative scalar curvature on the interiors of handlebodies. In higher dimensions, we give examples of ends of manifolds with positive scalar curvature metrics.
We prove that all currently known examples of manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature satisfy a stronger condition: their curvature operator can be modified with a 4-form to become positive-semidefinite.
We give a simple construction of new, complete, finite volume manifolds $M$ of bounded, nonpositive curvature. These manifolds have ends that look like a mixture of locally symmetric ends of different ranks and their fundamental groups are…
We show that the sectional curvature of a Riemannian manifold is nonnegative if, and only if, the entropy functional is matrix displacement convex. As an application we obtain intrinsic dimensional evolution variational inequalities, and…
In dimension greater than four, we prove that if a Hermitian non-Kaehler manifold is of pointwise constant antiholomorphic sectional curvatures, then it is of constant sectional curvatures.
We prove that any smooth Riemannian manifold of non-negative scalar curvature and with a strictly mean convex and compact boundary component can be (C^2) extended beyond the component to have non-negative scalar curvature and to enjoy…
A Riemannian manifold is called almost positively curved if the set of points for which all $2$-planes have positive sectional curvature is open and dense. We find three new examples of almost positively curved manifolds: $Sp(3)/Sp(1)^2$,…
In this note, we prove that for a complete noncompact three dimensional Riemannian manifold with bounded sectional curvature, if it has uniformly positive scalar curvature, then there is a uniform lower bound on the injectivity radius.
This is a survey written for a special edition of the journal of differential geometry.
The class of the Riemannian almost product manifolds with nonintegrable structure is considered. Some identities for curvature tensor as certain invariant tensors and quantities are obtained.
