Hsiang–Kleiner diffeomorphism conjecture for positively curved 4-manifolds

About 18 years old · traced to

Let MM be an orientable closed positively curved 44-manifold with an effective isometric S1S^1-action. Hsiang–Kleiner's conjecture. MM is diffeomorphic to S4S^4 or CP2{\bf CP}^2. This conjecture asks whether the known topological classification can be strengthened to a diffeomorphism classification. It is stated here as a question posed by Hsiang and Kleiner; the supplied text does not provide resolution evidence.
