Abstract
For dimensions n ≥ 3 and k ∈ {2, · · · , n}, we show that the space of metrics of
k -positive Ricci curvature on the sphere S
n has the structure of an H -space with a homotopy
commutative, homotopy associative product operation. We further show, using the theory of
operads and results of Boardman, Vogt and May that the path component of this space
containing the round metric is weakly homotopy equivalent to an n-fold loop space.
