When doesis a simply connected Lie group with an invariant metric of positive sectional curvature is compact?
The point of the question is: does this hypothesis provide to the positive sectional curvature metric a positive inferiorlower bound foron Ricci curvature in the sense of Bonnet-Meyers's theorem on the metric of positive sectional curvature? If not, in whichunder what conditions is it possible? Is there any counterexample? If Bonnet-Meyers is not satisfectedsatisfied, is yet the group still compact? I mean, doesare there any obstructionobstructions in thermsterms of the Lie algebra of the group?
Thanks
