Nonnegative curvature on vector bundles over CP3 and its blow-up
Abstract
Every real vector bundle of rank at least seven over CP3, or every real vector bundle of rank at least eight over CP3#CP3, admits a complete metric of nonnegative sectional curvature on its total space. The corresponding unit sphere bundles also admit nonnegative sectional curvature. These are fixed-rank results: no additional trivial summand is required, and there is no restriction on any characteristic class. The proof combines low-dimensional bundle classification with the Grove--Ziller lifting theory over S4 and CP2.
