Riemannian submersions from compact four manifolds
An unpublished conjecture of Fred Wilhelm states that if \(\pi : (M,g)\rightarrow (N,h)\) is a nontrivial Riemannian submersion with \((M,g)\) compact and of positive sectional curvature, then \(\dim(F) < \dim (N)\), where \(F\) is the fiber of \(\pi\). When \(\dim(M)=4\), Wilhelm's conjecture implies that there is no nontrivial Riemannian submersion from any compact four-manifold with positive sectional curvature. Here this is proved under the additional assumption that either \(\| A \|\) or \(H\) is basic, where \(A\) is the O'Neill tensor of the submersion and \(H\) is the mean curvature vector field of the fibers.
