Abstract

Integral conditions on the traceless Ricci tensor are used to characterize Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces among complete, locally conformally flat manifolds of constant scalar curvature. The main tools are vanishing-type results for -solutions of a large class of differential inequalities. Further applications of the technique are also given.
