Abstract

In this article, a six-parameter family of highly connected 7-manifolds which admit an S O ( 3 ) -invariant metric of non-negative sectional curvature is constructed and the Eells-Kuiper invariant of each is computed. In particular, it follows that all exotic spheres in dimension 7 admit an S O ( 3 ) -invariant metric of non-negative curvature.
