Nonlocal curvature and topology of locally conformally flat manifolds

摘要

In this paper, we focus on the geometry of compact conformally flat manifolds(Mn,g)with positive scalar curvature. Schoen–Yau proved that its universal cover(Mn?,g?)is conformally embedded inSnsuch thatMnis a Kleinian manifold. Moreover, the limit set of the Kleinian group has Hausdorff dimension0, then the above inequality is strict. Moreover, the above upper bound is sharp. As applications, we obtain some topological rigidity and classification theorems in lower dimensions.
