Abstract
The first variant of this article contained a fatal error. Therefore, we publish second version our paper. In the present paper, we prove that the curvature operator of the second kind of a Riemannian manifold is strictly positive if its sectional curvature is strictly positive and the Ricci curvature suitably pinched. In addition, we prove several vanishing theorems for null spaces of the Lichnerowicz, Sampson, and Hodge-de Rham Laplacians and find estimates for their lowest eigenvalues on compact (without boundary) Riemannian manifolds with sectional pinched curvature.
