The non-negative curvature and Seifert fibration conjecture for 2-connected 7-manifolds
The non-negative curvature and Seifert fibration conjecture for 2-connected 7-manifolds
Let be a -connected -manifold whose cohomology ring is that of an -bundle over . A non-negative curvature and Seifert fibration conjecture asserts that admits a non-negatively curved, codimension-one singular Riemannian foliation with singular leaves of codimension two, and a Seifert fibration onto an orbifold with generic fibre . This would extend the geometric constructions discussed in the paper beyond the manifolds and would provide such structures for all 2-connected 7-manifolds with this cohomology type; the conjecture is presented as an open question.
