Abstract

Let Mn (n3)M^n\ (n\geq3) be a complete Riemannian manifold with secM1\sec_M\geq 1, and let MiniM_i^{n_i} (i=1,2i=1,2) be two comlplete totally geodesic submanifolds in MM. We prove that if n1+n2=n2n_1+n_2=n-2 and if the distance M1M2π2|M_1M_2|\geq\frac{\pi}{2}, then MiM_i is isometric to Sni/Zh\Bbb S^{n_i}/\Bbb Z_h, CPni2{\Bbb C\Bbb P}^{\frac {n_i}2} or CPni2/Z2{\Bbb C\Bbb P}^{\frac {n_i}2}/\Bbb Z_2 with the canonical metric when ni>0n_i>0, and thus MM is isometric to Sn/Zh\Bbb S^n/\Bbb Z_h, CPn2{\Bbb C\Bbb P}^{\frac n2} or CPn2/Z2{\Bbb C\Bbb P}^{\frac n2}/\Bbb Z_2 except possibly when n=3n=3 and M1M_1 (or M2M_2) isoS1/Zh\stackrel{\rm iso}{\cong}\Bbb S^{1}/\Bbb Z_h with h2h\geq 2 or n=4n=4 and M1M_1 (or M2M_2) isoRP2\stackrel{\rm iso}{\cong}\Bbb{RP}^2.
