8. Miscellaneous Problems


    1. Add remark

      Problem 8.1.

      Is a “generic” manifold a K(\pi, 1)-space (where “generic” is to be determined)?


        • Add remark

          Problem 8.2.

          Does positive sectional curvature imply that the manifold is formal (in the sense of Sullivan’s minimal model)?


            • Add remark

              Problem 8.3.

              For compact, odd dimensional, positively curved manifolds is there a cyclic subgroup of the fundamental group whose index is bounded only in terms of the dimension?


                • Add remark

                  Problem 8.4.

                  Is there a finiteness result for n-dimensional, positively curved manifolds with \pi_1 = \pi_2 = 0?


                    • Add remark

                      Problem 8.5.

                      Is there a \delta(n) > 0 such that any n-dimensional, positively curved manifold carries a \delta(n)-pinched metric?
