The Blaschke conjecture: Blaschke manifolds are compact rank-one symmetric spaces
Theorem 1.1: if is connected, closed, smooth, of positive dimension, with , then is isometric up to scale to a round sphere, a standard real, complex or quaternionic projective space, or the Cayley plane. Theorem 1.2 gives against the model at equal diameter, with equality only for isometry; the upper bound in quaternionic dimension , , is proved from characteristic classes and the geodesic space. It does not treat the weaker Besse-type questions on manifolds all of whose geodesics are closed without the Blaschke condition (SC or P-manifolds in general).
