Conformal rigidity of the hemispheres \({{\text S}^4_+}\) and \({{\text S}^6_+}\) (Q444201): Difference between revisions

Let \((M,g)\) be a four or six dimensional compact Riemannian manifold which is locally conformally flat and assume that its boundary is totally umbilical. The author proves that, if the characteristic of \(M\) is equal to 1 and if its Yamabe invariant is positive, then \((M,g)\) is conformally isometric to the standard hemisphere. As an application and using a result of \textit{F. Hang} and \textit{X. Wang} [Commun. Anal. Geom. 14, No. 1, 91--106 (2006; Zbl 1119.53029)], he proves a rigidity result for these hemispheres.
