Four-manifolds with positive curvature


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In this note we prove that a four-dimensional compact oriented half-confor-mally flat Riemannian manifold $M^4$ is topologically $mathbb{S}^{4}$ or $mathbb{C}mathbb{P}^{2},$ provided that the sectional curvatures all lie in the interval $[frac{3sqrt{3}-5}{4},,1].$ In addition, we use the notion of biorthogonal (sectional) curvature to obtain a pinching condition which guarantees that a four-dimensional compact manifold is homeomorphic to a connected sum of copies of the complex projective plane or the $4$-sphere.
