Abstract

Let ( M , g ) , n ≥ 4 , be a compact simply-connected Riemannian n -manifold with nonnegative isotropic curvature. Given 0 < l ≤ L , we prove that there exists ε = ε ( l , L , n ) satisfying the following: If the scalar curvature s of g satisfies l ≤ s ≤ L and the Einstein tensor satisfies Ric - s n g ≤ ε then M is diffeomorphic to a symmetric space of compact type.This is related to the result of S. Brendle on the metric rigidity of Einstein manifolds with nonnegative isotropic curvature.
