Diffeomorphic souls and disconnected moduli spaces of nonnegatively curved metrics
[Sur les âmes difféomorphes et les espaces de modules de métriques à courbure non négative qui ne sont pas connexes]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 72 (2022) no. 1, pp. 109-122.

Nous donnons des exemples de variétés ouvertes qui admettent une infinité de métriques complètes à courbure sectionnelle non négative telles que leurs âmes soient identiques et que leurs classes d’équivalence se trouvent dans des composantes connexes différentes de l’espace de modules. Tous les exemples de ce genre, connus auparavant, ont une âme de codimension un. Dans les exemples que nous présentons, les âmes sont de codimension trois et deux.

We give examples of open manifolds that carry infinitely many complete metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature such that they all have the same soul, and their isometry classes lie in different connected components of the moduli space. All previously known examples of this kind have souls of codimension one. In our examples the souls have codimensions three and two.
