This article describes a result related to the sectional curvature of a Riemannian manifold

Statement

Let nN, Λ<, D<m and v>0. Then consider the space S of differential manifolds M admitting a metric g for which:

dim(M)=n,|K|Λ,diam(M)D,vol(M)v

where K denotes the sectional curvature.

Then, S consists of finitely many diffeomorphism classes/types.
