We show that, in contrast with the homogeneous case where a compact manifold always carries a non-negatively curved metric,the existence of such a metric on a cohomgeneity one manifold can be obstructed. We produce a large class of examples where this obstruction holds.

Abstract

We show that, in contrast with the homogeneous case where a compact manifold always carries a non-negatively curved metric,the existence of such a metric on a cohomgeneity one manifold can be obstructed. We produce a large class of examples where this obstruction holds.
