Abstract: We show that a closed four-manifold with $4frac12$-positive curvature operator of the second kind is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form. The curvature assumption is sharp as both $mathbb{CP}^2$ and $mathbb{S}^{3}imesmathbb{S}^1$ have $4frac12$-nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind. In higher dimensions $ngeq5$, we show that closed Riemannian manifolds with $4frac12$-positive curvature operator of the second kind are homeomorphic to spherical space forms. These results are proved by showing that $4frac12$-positive curvature operator of the second kind implies both positive isotropic curvature and positive Ricci curvature. Rigidity results for $4frac12$-nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind are also obtained.
