Abstract
- Let ( M n , g ) ( n ≥ 4 ) be an n-dimensional complete Einstein manifold. Denote by W the Weyl curvature tensor of M. We prove that ( M n , g ) is isometric to a spherical space form if ( M n , g ) has positive scalar curvature and unit volume, and the L p ( p ≥ n 2 ) -norm of W is pinched in [ 0 , C ) , where C is an explicit positive constant depending only on n, p and S, which improves the isolation theorems given by [24] , [14] , [17] . This paper also states that W goes to zero uniformly at infinity if for p ≥ n 2 , the L p -norm of W of M with non-positive scalar curvature and positive Yamabe constant is finite. Assume that M has negative scalar curvature and the L α -norm of W is finite. As application, we prove that M is a hyperbolic space form if the L p -norm of W is sufficiently small, which generalizes an L n 2 -norm of W pinching theorem in [19] .
