Generalized normal homogeneous spheres

We find new generalized normal homogeneous but not normal homogeneous Riemannian metrics on spheres of dimensions 4n+3, n ≥ 1, and all homogeneous space forms covered by them; all these spaces have zero Euler characteristic. Deriving consequences, alongside some other new results we obtain new proofs for analogous known results for all complex projective spaces of odd complex dimension starting from three.
