Abstract

We prove rigidity results for compact Riemannian manifolds in the spirit of Tachibana. For example, we observe that manifolds with divergence free Weyl tensors and n12\lfloor \frac{n-1}{2} \rfloor-nonnegative curvature operators are locally symmetric or conformally equivalent to a quotient of the sphere. The main focus of the paper is to prove similar results for manifolds with special holonomy. In particular, we consider K\"ahler manifolds with divergence free Bochner tensor. For quaternion K\"ahler manifolds we obtain a partial result towards the LeBrun-Salamon conjecture.
