Abstract
We give examples of open manifolds that carry infinitely many complete metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature such that they all have the same soul, and their isometry classes lie in different connected components of the moduli space. All previously known examples of this kind have souls of codimension one. In our examples the souls have codimensions three and two.
期刊介绍:
The Annales de l’Institut Fourier aim at publishing original papers of a high level in all fields of mathematics, either in English or in French.
The Editorial Board encourages submission of articles containing an original and important result, or presenting a new proof of a central result in a domain of mathematics. Also, the Annales de l’Institut Fourier being a general purpose journal, highly specialized articles can only be accepted if their exposition makes them accessible to a larger audience.
