Abstract

We classify compact conformally flat nn-dimensional manifolds with constant positive scalar curvature and satisfying an optimal integral pinching condition: they are covered isometrically by either Sn\mathbb{S}^{n} with the round metric, S1×Sn1\mathbb{S}^{1}\times \mathbb{S}^{n-1} with the product metric or S1×Sn1\mathbb{S}^{1}\times \mathbb{S}^{n-1} with a rotationally symmetric Derdzi\'nski metric.
