An L² Einstein Gap for Nonnegatively Curved Four-Manifolds
We prove a universal, scale-invariant L 2 gap for the trace-free Ricci tensor on simply connected closed four-manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature. If the trace-free Ricci energy is sufficiently small, the manifold is diffeomorphic to S 4 , $\mathbb{CP}^2$, or $S^2\times S^2$. The proof uses the classification of positive-Einstein, nonnegatively curved four-manifolds supplied by the companion zero-plane rigidity theorem, stated explicitly as the classification premise of our result. No auxiliary curvature, volume, diameter, injectivity-radius, or Sobolev bound is required. The…
