Self-Dual Manifolds with Positive Ricci Curvature
Abstract
We prove that the connected sums CP2 # CP2 and CP2 # CP2 # CP2 admit self-dual metrics with positive Ricci curvature. Moreover, every self-dual metric of positive scalar curvature on CP2 # CP2 is conformal to a metric with positive Ricci curvature.
