Abstract: Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and $h$ a smooth function on $M$. Let $h{o}^h(x)=in{f}_{|v|=1}left(Ri{c}_x(v,v)-2Hess(h{)}_x(v,v)ight)$. Here $Ri{c}_x$ denotes the Ricci curvature at $x$ and $Hess(h)$ is the Hessian of $h$. Then $M$ has finite fundamental group if $Delt{a}^h-h{o}^h<0$. Here $Delt{a}^h=:Delta+2L_{ablah}$ is the Bismut-Witten Laplacian. This leads to a quick proof of recent results on extension of Myers' theorem to manifolds with mostly positive curvature. There is also a similar result for noncompact manifolds.
