Effective stability of negatively curved Einstein metrics in dimensions at least $4$

Differential Geometry 2025-12-30 v2

Abstract

We show that if a closed manifold of dimension at least four admits a negatively curved metric that is almost Einstein in a suitable sense, then it admits a genuine Einstein metric of negative sectional curvature. Importantly, the pinching constant measuring the almost-Einstein condition neither depends on an upper bound for the diameter or volume, nor on a lower bound for the injectivity radius.
