On the 3D Riemannian Homogeneous Spaces of
Positive Sectional Curvature
Abstract: We give a simple description of the moduli spaces of
isometry classes of three dimensional simply connected Riemannian
homogeneous manifolds of positive sectional curvature, and of isometry
classes of Riemannian homogeneous structures of positive sectional
curvature on RP3. A variant of the Poincaré conjecture
is also formulated.
