Abstract:
We construct -structures on a Bott manifold and on some other manifolds obtained by Kummer-type constructions. We also prove that if , where is a fiber bundle with structure group and a fiber admitting a -invariant metric of non-negative sectional curvature and admits an -structure with one trivial covering, then one can construct on a sequence of metrics with sectional curvature uniformly bounded from below and volume tending to zero (i.e. ). As a corollary we prove that all the elements in the Spin cobordism ring can be represented by manifolds with .
