Abstract
We show that there exists a universal positive constant e0 > 0 with the following property: let g be a positive Einstein metric on the four-sphere S4. If the Yamabe constant of the conformal class g] satisfies Y (S4, g]) > 1 v 3 Y (S4, gS]) - e0, where gS denotes the standard round metric on S4, then, up to rescaling, g is isometric to gS. This is an extension ofGursky's gap theorem for positive Einstein metrics on S-4.
