Manifolds with harmonic curvature and curvature operator of the second kind
We prove that complete Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n\ge3$ with harmonic curvature and $\frac{n(n+2)}{2(n+1)}$-nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind must be Einstein. In particular, We show that complete Einstein manifolds of dimension $n\ge4$ with $\frac{3n(n-1)^2(n+2)}{2(5n^3+3n^2-30n+16)}$-nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind must be of constant curvature, which generalizes the work of Dai-Fu \cite{DF}.
