Nonnegatively curved $5$–manifolds with almost maximal symmetry rank

Fernando Galaz-Garcia and Catherine Searle

Geometry & Topology 18 (2014) 1397–1435
Abstract

We show that a closed, simply connected, nonnegatively curved 5–manifold admitting an effective, isometric T2 action is diffeomorphic to one of S5,S3 × S2, S3×̃S2 or the Wu manifold SU(3)SO(3).
