Differential Geometry 2025-12-15 v2

Abstract

We demonstrate that nn-dimension closed Einstein manifolds, whose smallest eigenvalue of the curvature operator of the second kind of R˚\mathring{R} satisfies λ1θ(n)λˉ\lambda_1 \ge -\theta(n) \bar\lambda, are either flat or round spheres, where λˉ\bar \lambda is the average of the eigenvalues of R˚\mathring{R}, and θ(n)\theta(n) is defined as in equation (1.2). Our result improves a celebrated result (Theorem 1.1) concerning Einstein manifolds with nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind.
