Abstract: We generalize the well-known numerical criterion for projective spaces by Cho, Miyaoka and Shepherd-Barron to varieties with at worst quotient singularities. Let $X$ be a normal projective variety of dimension $ngeq3$ with at most quotient singularities. Our result asserts that if $Ccdot(-K_X)geqn+1$ for every curve $CsubsetX$, then $XcongP{P}^n$.
