Some $L^p$ rigidity results for complete manifolds with harmonic curvature
Abstract
Let be an -dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with harmonic curvature and positive Yamabe constant. Denote by and the scalar curvature and the trace-free Riemannian curvature tensor of , respectively. The main result of this paper states that goes to zero uniformly at infinity if for , the -norm of is finite. Moreover, If is positive, then is compact. As applications, we prove that is isometric to a spherical space form if for , is positive and the -norm of is pinched in , where is an explicit positive constant depending only on , and the Yamabe constant. In particular, we prove an -norm of pinching theorem for complete, simply connected, locally conformally flat Riemannian -manifolds with constant negative scalar curvature. We give an isolation theorem of the trace-free Ricci curvature tensor of compact locally conformally flat Riemannian -manifolds with constant positive scalar curvature, which improves Thereom 1.1 and Corollary 1 of E. Hebey and M. Vaugon \cite{{HV}}. This rsult is sharped, and we can precisely characterize the case of equality.
