Abstract: Rigidity results are obtained for Riemannian $d$-manifolds with $secgeqslant1$ and spherical rank at least $d-2>0$. Conjecturally, all such manifolds are locally isometric to a round sphere or complex projective space with the (symmetric) Fubini--Study metric. This conjecture is verified in all odd dimensions, for metrics on $d$-spheres when $deq6$, for Riemannian manifolds satisfying the Raki'c duality principle, and for K"ahlerian manifolds.
