Abstract

We prove that if a compact, simply connected Riemannian G-manifold M has orbit space M/G isometric to some other quotient N/H with N having zero topological entropy, then M is rationally elliptic. This result, which generalizes most conditions on rational ellipticity, is a particular case of a more general result involving manifold submetries. © The Author(s), 2025.
