Abstract
We consider intermediate Ricci curvatures Rick on a closed Riemannian manifold
Mn. These interpolate between the Ricci curvature when k = n − 1 and the sectional
curvature when k = 1. By establishing a surgery result for Riemannian metrics with
Rick > 0, we show that Gromov’s upper Betti number bound for sectional curvature
bounded below fails to hold for Rick > 0 when (n/2) + 2 ≤ k ≤ n − 1. This was
previously known only in the case of positive Ricci curvature (Sha and Yang in J Differ Geom 29(1):95–103, 1989, J Differ Geom 33:127–138, 1991).
