Title: Moduli Spaces of Positive Curvature Metrics

Abstract: In the last decade the observer moduli space of Riemannian metrics with positive curvature conditions have become more and more popular. So far, results in this direction only work if the dimension of the underlying manifold is bigger than 5 or if the manifold is spin. I will present a different construction that works in dimension 4 and does not rely on spin geometry.
