In this paper, we give some KO-obstructions of non-Abelian group action on spin manifolds. These are closely related to the existence of metrics of positive scalar curvature on spin manifolds.
We conclude a series of papers on 4-dimensional stable planes admitting a non-solvable Lie group A of automorphisms. Here we consider the case where A contains a subgroup qb ~ Spin 3. For dim A >~ 6, the possible planes are completely determined (Theorem 5). Apart from classical examples, we get a s
We prove the vanishing of the A-genus of compact smooth manifolds with finite second homotopy group and endowed with smooth S 1 actions. These manifolds are not necessarily spin, hence, this vanishing extends that of Atiyah and Hirzebruch on spin manifolds with S 1 actions. The proof is accomplished
In this paper, we look for metrics of cohomogeneity one in D = 8 and D = 7 dimensions with Spin(7) and G 2 holonomy, respectively. In D = 8, we first consider the case of principal orbits that are S 7 , viewed as an S 3 bundle over S 4 with triaxial squashing of the S 3 fibres. This gives a more gen
