On the Betti and Tachibana Numbers of Compact Einstein Manifolds
Keyword(s):
Throughout the history of the study of Einstein manifolds, researchers have sought relationships between the curvature and topology of such manifolds. In this paper, first, we prove that a compact Einstein manifold ( M , g ) with an Einstein constant α > 0 is a homological sphere when the minimum of its sectional curvatures > α / ( n + 2 ) ; in particular, ( M , g ) is a spherical space form when the minimum of its sectional curvatures > α / n . Second, we prove two propositions (similar to the above ones) for Tachibana numbers of a compact Einstein manifold with α < 0 .
