Abstract

Llarull's theorem characterizes the round sphere SnS^n among all spin manifolds whose scalar curvature is bounded from below by n(n1)n(n-1). In this paper we show that if the scalar curvature is bounded from below by n(n1)εn(n-1)-\varepsilon, the underlying manifold is C0C^0-close to a finite number of spheres outside a small bad set. This completely solves Gromov's spherical stability problem.
