Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a noncompact complete Bach-flat manifold with positive Yamabe constant. We prove that (M,g)(M,g) is flat if (M,g)(M, g) has zero scalar curvature and sufficiently small L2L_{2} bound of curvature tensor. When (M,g)(M, g) has nonconstant scalar curvature, we prove that (M,g)(M, g) is conformal to the flat space if (M,g)(M, g) has sufficiently small L2L_2 bound of curvature tensor and L4/3L_{4/3} bound of scalar curvature.
