6. Quasi-positive Curvature and Positive Curvature on an Open Dense Set

    1. Problem 6.1.

      Which theorems from \sec > 0 carry over to positive curvature on an open dense set?
        • Problem 6.2.

          Suppose G is a compact Lie group with a left-invariant metric. Are there any new examples H \backslash G with quasi-positive curvature?
            • Problem 6.3.

              Find new examples of fundamental groups in quasi-positive curvature or positive curvature on an open dense set.
                • Problem 6.4.

                  Fix k \in \N. Is there a n_0 = n_0 (k) such that for any quasi-positively curved manifold (M^n, g) with n \geq n_0 and \operatorname{cohom}(M^n,g) \leq k, there exists a chain M_0 = M^n \subset M_1^{n+k} \subset M_2^{n+2k} \subset \cdots
                  such that all inclusions are totally geodesic, the manifolds M_i are quasi-positively curved, \cup M_i is the classifying space of a Lie group, and M_i / {Iso}(M_i,g) is isometric to M / {Iso}(M,g)?
