Complexifications of nonnegatively curved manifolds
Define a good complexification of a closed smooth manifold M to be a smooth affine algebraic variety U over the real numbers such that M is diffeomorphic to U(R) and the inclusion U(R) → U(C) is a homotopy equivalence. Kulkarni showed that every manifold which has a good complexification has …
