Abstract: We show two sphere theorems for the Riemannian manifolds with scalar curvature bounded below and the non-collapsed $mathrmRCD(n-1,n)$ spaces with mean distance close to $fracpi2$.

Review text

So-called sphere theorems for Riemannian manifolds of bounded scalar curvature are considered. The following theorem contains the most important result. Theorem. Let $(M,g)$ be an orientable closed Riemannian $n$-dimensional manifold of scalar curvature $k$, $k\geq n(n-1)$. If there exists a $(1,\wedge^1)$-contracting map $f:M\to S^n$ of non-zero degree and if the map $f$ is harmonic with condition $C\leq0$ for its special scalar invariant, then $f$ is an isometry.
