Abstract: In this article we prove a differentiable rigidity result. Let $(Y,g)$ and $(X,g_0)$ be two closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds ($ngeqslant3$) and $f:YoX$ be a continuous map of degree $1$. We furthermore assume that the metric $g_0$ is real hyperbolic and denote by $d$ the diameter of $(X,g_0)$. We show that there exists a number $varepsilon:=varepsilon(n,d)>0$ such that if the Ricci curvature of the metric $g$ is bounded below by $-n(n-1)$ and its volume satisfies $vo{l}_g(Y)leqslant(1+varepsilon)vo{l}_{g_0}(X)$ then the manifolds are diffeomorphic. The proof relies on Cheeger-Colding's theory of limits of Riemannian manifolds under lower Ricci curvature bound.
