Positive Ricci curvature kills harmonic one-forms

joint

Bochner (1946): a closed manifold with positive Ricci curvature carries no non-zero harmonic one-form, so its first Betti number is zero - a Hodge-theoretic conclusion from the very hypothesis Hamilton's 1982 Ricci-flow theorem starts from. Myers (1941): under Ric >= (n - 1)k the diameter is at most pi/sqrt(k), with equality on the round sphere - sealed on the unit three-sphere.
