Abstract: As a means to better understanding manifolds with positive curvature, there has been much recent interest in the study of non-negatively curved manifolds which contain either a point or an open dense set of points at which all 2-planes have positive curvature. We study infinite families of biquotients defined by Eschenburg and Bazaikin from this viewpoint, together with torus quotients of $S^{3}x{S}^3$.
