In this paper, we prove that a critical metric of the volume functional with pinched Weyl curvature is isometric to a geodesic ball in S n. Moreover, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition on the norm of the gradient of the potential function in order to classify such critical metrics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
