The main result of the paper is the following finiteness theorem: Theorem. For positive constants \(D\), \(v\), \(\lambda\) and \(\Lambda\), the collection of closed, connected Riemannian \(n\)-manifolds \(M\) satisfying the bounds \(\text{diam}(M)\leq D\), \(\text{vol}(M)\geq v\), \(|\text{Ric}_ M|\leq\lambda\), and \(\int_ M| R|^{n/2}\leq\Lambda\) contains at most a finite number, \(c=c(n,vD^{-n},\lambda D^ 2,\Lambda)\) of diffeomorphism types. This theorem generalizes a finiteness theorem of the second author, which proves the same conclusion under the sectional curvature bound, \(| R|\leq\Lambda\). According to results of the first author the limit space in the Gromov-Hausdorff distance of a sequence of manifolds satisfying the bounds of the theorem is an orbifold with a controlled number of singular points. It is crucial for the proof of the finiteness theorem to control the degeneration of the metric close to those singular points.
