Abstract: A famous conjecture of Hopf is that the product of the two-dimensional sphere with itself does not admit a Riemannian metric with positive sectional curvature. More generally, one may conjecture that this holds for any nontrivial product. We provide evidence for this generalized conjecture in the presence of symmetry.
