Abstract
AbstractIn this note, we prove that a four-dimensional compact oriented half-conformally flat Riemannian manifold M4 is topologically $\mathbb{S}^{4}$ or $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{2}$ , provided that the sectional curvatures all lie in the interval $\left[ {{{3\sqrt {3 - 5} } \over 4}, 1} \right]$ In addition, we use the notion of biorthogonal (sectional) curvature to obtain a pinching condition which guarantees that a four-dimensional compact manifold is homeomorphic to a connected sum of copies of the complex projective plane or the 4-sphere.
