The sphere theorem is one of the main streams in modern Riemannian geometry. In this article, we survey developments of pinching theorems from the classical one to the recent differentiable pinching theorem. Also we include sphere theorems of metric invariants such as diameter and radius with historical view point.

In this paper, M will always denote an n- dimensional complete Riemannian manifold and $\omega_n$ is the volume of $S^n$.

Let (M, $g$) be a compact oriented 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold whose sectional curvature $k$ satisfies $1{\geq}k{\geq}0.1714$. We show that M is topologically $S^4$ or ${\pm}\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$.

We investigate the spacelike hypersurface Mⁿ with constant mean curvature (CMC) in a Lorentz Einstein manifold Lⁿ⁺¹₁, which is supposed to obey some appropriate curvature constraints. Applying a suitable Simons type formula jointly with the well known generalized maximum principle of Omori-Yau, we obtain some rigidity classification theorems and pinching theorems of hypersurfaces.

Let M be a n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded below by one. Then Li and Zhong[3], and Li and Treibergs [4] proved that if the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian .lambda.$_{1}$ is less than some universal constant and if n.leq.4, then M is diffeomorphic to the n-sphere S$^{n}$ . The purpose of this paper is to prove this pinching theorem for all n with some extra condition.
