A knot characterization and 1-connected nonnegatively curved 4-manifolds with circle symmetry
arXiv:1304.4827 · doi:10.2140/gt.2014.18.3091
Abstract
We classify nonnegatively curved simply connected 4-manifolds with circle symmetry up to equivariant diffeomorphisms. The main problem is rule out knotted curves in the singular set of the orbit space. As an extension of this work we classify all knots in S^3 which can be realized as an extremal set with respect to an inner metric on S^3 which has nonnegative curvature in the Alexandrov sense.
