1 Introduction
This page is in the construction process!!!
A homotopy sphere of dimension is an oriented closed smooth manifold which is homotopy equivalent to the standard sphere . A homotopy sphere is called an exotic sphere if it not diffeoemorphic to a standard sphere. General information about homotopy spheres (and exotic spheres) is given on Exotic spheres.
One prominent question concerning the geometry of exotic spheres is: Given an exotic sphere, are there Riemannian metrics which have positive sectional curvature, positive Ricci Curvature, or positive scalar curvature?
