Invariant metrics of positive Ricci curvature on principal bundles (Q1384615)

Let \(\pi :P\to Y\) be a principal fibre bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold \(Y\) of positive Ricci curvature. Assume that the fundamental group of \(Y\) is finite and that the structure group \(G\) is compact and connected. The authors show that the total space \(P\) admits a \(G\)-invariant Riemannian metric of positive Ricci curvature for which \(\pi\) becomes a Riemannian submersion.
