Abstract

In this paper, we show that a closed nn-dimensional generalized (λ,n+m)(\lambda, n+m)-Einstein manifold of constant scalar curvature with weakly radially zero Ricci curvature is isometric to either a sphere Sn{\Bbb S}^n, or a product S1×Σn1{\Bbb S}^{1} \times \Sigma^{n-1} of a circle with an (n1)(n-1)-dimensional Einstein manifold of positive Ricci curvature, up to finite cover and rescaling. Furthermore, if we assume (M,g)(M, g) has positive isotropic curvature, MM must be isometric to either a sphere Sn{\Bbb S}^n, or a product S1×Sn1{\Bbb S}^{1} \times {\Bbb S}^{n-1} of a circle with an (n1)(n-1)-sphere.
