Abstract
Using Hamilton's Ricci flow we shall prove several pinching results for int egral curvature. In particular, we show that if p > n/2 and the L-P norm of the curvature tensor is small and the diameter is bounded, then the manifo ld is an infra-nilmanifold. We also obtain a result on deforming metrics to positive sectional curvature.
