The following is our main result.

(A) THEOREM. Let (M, g) be a closed connected Einstein space, n = dim M ≧ 2 (with constant scalar curvature R). Let K0 be the lower bound of the sectional curvature. Then either (M, g) is isometrically diffeomorphic to a sphere and the first nonzero eigenvalue ƛ1of the Laplacian fulfils
