We show that the unit tangent bundle of S 4 and a real cohomology CP 3 admit Riemannian metrics with positive sectional curvature almost everywhere. These are the only examples so far with positive curvature almost everywhere that are not also known to admit positive curvature.

In this article we show that there is an exotic sphere with positive sectional curvature almost everywhere.In 1974 Gromoll and Meyer found a metric of nonnegative sectional on an exotic 7-sphere. They showed that the metric has positive curvature at a point and asserted, without proof, that the metric has positive sectional curvature almost everywhere [4]. We will show here that this assertion is wrong. In fact, the Gromoll-Meyer sphere has zero curvatures on an open set of points. Never the less, its metric can be perturbed to one that has positive curvature almost everywhere.

Remark Various definitions of lower Ricci curvature bounds on metric spaces are proposed in Kuwae and Shioya [23], Lott and Villani [25], Ohta [28], Sturm [40; 41] and Zhang and Zhu [50]. Our proof only requires that the quotient space of the principal orbits, M reg=G , has Ricci curvature greater than or equal to 1, and since M reg=G is a Riemannian manifold, it does not matter which definition we choose.

In this paper we show that two minimal hypersurfaces in a manifold with positive Ricci curvature must intersect. This is then generalized to show that in manifolds with positive Ricci cur- vature in the integral sense two minimal hypersurfaces must be close to each other. We also show what happens if a manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature admits two nonintersecting minimal hypersurfaces.

In this note we show that the unit tangent bundle of S 4 is diffeomorphic to the total space of a certain principal S 3 -bundle over S 4 , solving a problem of James and Whitehead.
