Abstract

Let (M,g0)(M, g_0) be a closed 4-manifold with positive Yamabe invariant and with L2L^2-small Weyl curvature tensor. Let g1[g0]g_1 \in [g_0] be any metric in the conformal class of g0g_0 whose scalar curvature is L2L^2-close to a constant. We prove that the set of Riemannian metrics in the conformal class [g0][g_0] that are isospectral to g1g_1 is compact in the CC^\infty topology.
