Tapp's conjecture on inverse-linear paths of nonnegatively curved metrics
Let be a compact Lie group with a bi-invariant metric and Lie algebra . For a left-invariant metric on , let be the unique -self-adjoint positive definite endomorphism satisfying , and let be the unique inverse-linear path with . Such a path is called nonnegative when the corresponding metrics are nonnegatively curved for . Tapp's conjecture. If is a nonnegatively curved left-invariant metric on , then the unique inverse-linear path from to is nonnegative. This conjecture would give a systematic way to study nonnegatively curved left-invariant metrics through inverse-linear variations, but its resolution is not established in the supplied source.
