Positive Intermediate Ricci Curvature on Fibre Bundles

We prove a canonical variation-type result for submersion metrics with positive intermediate Ricci curvatures. This can then be used in conjunction with surgery techniques to establish the existence of metrics with positive intermediate Ricci curvatures on a wide range of examples which had previous...

description We prove a canonical variation-type result for submersion metrics with positive intermediate Ricci curvatures. This can then be used in conjunction with surgery techniques to establish the existence of metrics with positive intermediate Ricci curvatures on a wide range of examples which had previously only been known to admit positive Ricci curvature, such as highly connected manifolds and exotic spheres. Further, we extend the results of the second author on the moduli space of metrics with positive Ricci curvature to positive intermediate Ricci curvatures.
