Artifact ↗The classification of closed Einstein four-manifolds with positive sectional curvature
Theorem 1.1: a connected smooth closed Einstein four-manifold with strictly positive sectional curvature, with no orientability assumption, is after positive rescaling isometric to round , Fubini-Study or round . The core step is half-conformal flatness ( or ) from a weighted Hessian estimate and moment balance of the two Weyl blocks. Companions: a closed Einstein four-manifold with , and one zero-curvature plane has universal cover , giving the full nonnegative classification; and a simply connected closed four-manifold with and small scale-invariant trace-free Ricci energy is diffeomorphic to , or . Not shown: anything in higher dimensions or for complete noncompact metrics.
