Rigidity of Einstein manifolds with positive Yamabe invariant

We provide optimal pinching results on closed Einstein manifolds with positive Yamabe invariant in any dimension, extending the optimal bound for the scalar curvature due to Gursky and LeBrun in dimension four. We also improve the known bounds of the Yamabe invariant via the Ln2-norm of the Weyl tensor for low-dimensional Einstein manifolds. Finally, we discuss some advances on an algebraic inequality involving the Weyl tensor for dimensions 5 and 6.
