Abstract Let ℳ 0 n {\mathcal{M}_{0}^{n}} be the class of closed, simply connected, non-negatively curved Riemannian n-manifolds admitting an isometric, effective, isotropy-maximal torus action. We prove that if M ∈ ℳ 0 n {M\in\mathcal{M}_{0}^{n}} , then M is equivariantly diffeomorphic to the free, linear quotient by a torus of a product of spheres of dimensions greater than or equal to 3. As a special case, we then prove the Maximal Symmetry Rank Conjecture for all M ∈ ℳ 0 n {M\in\mathcal{M}_{0}^{n}} . Finally, we show the Maximal Symmetry Rank Conjecture for simply connected, non-negatively curved manifolds holds for dimensions less than or equal to 9 without additional assumptions on the torus action.

In this paper, we give a complete classification of smooth structures on a generalized product of spheres. Ihe result generalizes our result in [1] and R. de Sapio's result in [2].
