Examples of Riemannian manifolds with positive curvature almost everywhere

Peter Petersen, Frederick Wilhelm

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.
