It is known that any connected compact Lie group $G$ is a finite quotient of the product of a compact simply connected semisimple Lie group $\tilde{G}$ and a torus $\mathbb{T}^n$ (see for example ...

Let $G/H$ be a compact symmetric space. Then I believe the following is true: if $\alpha \in \Omega^k(G/H)$ and $\nabla$ the Levi-Civita connection, then $$ (\alpha \text{ is induced by an $\...

In an online webinar, I heard (not directly) the statement that (closed) manifolds of nonnegative curvature operator $\mathcal{R}\geq 0$ are symmetric spaces. Is this a valid theorem? Any reference ...
