We extend the sphere theorem of Chang et al. (Publ Math Inst Ht Études Sci 98:105–434, 2003) to give a conformally invariant characterization of. In particular, we introduce a conformal invariantdefined on conformal four-manifolds satisfying a ‘positivity’ condition; it follows from Chang et al. (2003) that if, thenis diffeomorphic to. Our main result of this paper is a ‘gap’ result showing that ifandforsmall enough, thenis diffeomorphic to. The Ricci flow is used in a crucial way to pass from the bounds onto pointwise curvature information.
