The structure of manifolds of nonnegative sectional curvature

Understanding the structure of a Riemannian Manifold based on information about its sectional curvature is a challenging problem which has received much attention. According to the Soul Theorem any complete noncompact Riemannian manifold M of nonnegative sectional curvature contains a compact totall...
