摘要
A Riemannian manifold is called almost positively curved if the set of points for which all 2-planes have positive sectional curvature is open and dense. We find three new examples of almost positively curved manifolds: Sp(3)/Sp(1)(2), and two circle quotients of Sp(3)/Sp(1)(2). We also show the quasi-positively curved metric of Tapp (J Differ Geom 65:273-287, 2003) on Sp(n + 1)/Sp(n - 1) Sp(1) is not almost positively curved if n >= 3.
