    Weyl-Schouten Theorem for symmetric spaces

    Full text link
    Let N be a symmetric space of dimension n > 5 whose de Rham decomposition contains no factors of constant curvature and let W be the Weyl tensor of N at some point. We prove that a Riemannian manifold whose Weyl tensor at every point is a positive multiple of W is conformally equivalent to N (the case N = R^n is the Weyl-Schouten Theorem).Comment: Changed some proofs; corrected typo
