Integral pinched shrinking Ricci solitons

Differential Geometry 2016-08-26 v1

Abstract

We prove that a nn-dimensional, 4n64 \leq n \leq 6, compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton satisfying a Ln/2L^{n/2}-pinching condition is isometric to a quotient of the round Sn\mathbb{S}^{n}. The proof relies mainly on sharp algebraic curvature estimates, the Yamabe-Sobolev inequality and an improved rigidity result for integral pinched Einstein metrics.
