\(L^p\) Ricci curvature pinching theorems for conformally flat Riemannian manifolds (Q968602): Difference between revisions

The authors prove that a complete locally conformally flat Riemannian manifold \(M\) with constant scalar curvature \(R\) and \(\dim M\geq 3\) is: (1) flat if \(R = 0\) and the \(L^{n/2}\)-norm of its Ricci curvature tensor is suitably pinched; (2) isometric to a space form if \(n\geq 6\), \(R\neq 0\) and the \(L^{n/2}\)-norm of the trace-less Ricci curvature tensor is suitably pinched.
