文摘Let Mn be a compact, simply connected n (≥3)-dimensional Riemannian manifold without bound-ary and Sn be the unit sphere Euclidean space Rn+1. We derive a differentiable sphere theorem whenever themanifold concerned satisfies that the sectional curvature KM is not larger than 1, while Ric(M)≥n+2 4 and the volume V (M) is not larger than (1 + η)V (Sn) for some positive number η depending only on n.
