Abstract

We show that the only compact positively curved Riemannian manifolds of even dimension acted on by a simple group with a codimension one orbit are the compact rank one symmetric spaces. Combining with previous results of the author this completes the classification of positively curved cohomogeneity one manifolds in the even dimensional case.
