Abstract
Using the spherical trip theorem, we present a new intrinsic proof of Gromoll–Grove diameter rigidity theorem: "If a simply-connected Riemannian manifold has sectional curvature ≥ 1 and diameter [Formula: see text], then either it is homeomorphic to a sphere, or it is isometric to one of classic projective spaces".
