Abstract

Around 2007, A. Chang, J. Qing, and P. Yang proved a conformal gap theorem for Bach-flat metrics with round sphere as the model case. In this article, we extend this result to prove conformally invariant gap theorems for Bach-flat 44-manifolds with (CP2,gFS)(\mathbb{CP}^2, g_{FS}) and (S2×S2,gprod)(\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^2,g_{prod}) as model cases. An iteration argument plays an important role in the case of (CP2,gFS)(\mathbb{CP}^2, g_{FS}) and the convergence theory of Bach-flat metrics is of particular importance in the case of (S2×S2,gprod)(\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^2,g_{prod}).
