Abstract:

This paper presents a rigidity result of real hyperbolic quotients in analogy to Min-Oo's result in Math. Ann. 285(4) (1989), 527–539, but without the spin condition. In order to prove this, we use special Killing forms on the exterior form bundle. Moreover, we make an assumption on the sectional curvature to obtain the necessary eigenvalue estimates of the curvature endomorphism in the Bochner–Weitzenböck formula of OHgrkM.

Keywords: hyperbolic quotient; rigidity; special Killing form
