Exotic spheres’ metrics and solutions via Kaluza-Klein techniques

Abstract By applying an inverse Kaluza-Klein procedure, we provide explicit coordinate expressions for Riemannian metrics on two homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic spheres in seven dimensions. We identify Milnor’s bundles, among which ten out of the fourteen exotic seven-spheres appear (ignoring ori...
