Abstract
Let be a compact Ricci-flat 4-manifold. For let (respectively ) denote the maximum (respectively the minimum) of sectional curvatures at . We prove that if for all , for some constant with , then is flat. We prove a similar result for compact Ricci-flat K\"ahler surfaces. Let be such a surface and for let (respectively ) denote the maximum (respectively the minimum) of holomorphic sectional curvatures at . If for all , for some constant with , then is flat.
