Streszczenie

We consider an $n$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and show that the presence of a non-Killing conformal vector field $\xi $ on $M$ that is also an eigenvector of the Laplacian operator acting on smooth vector fields with eigenvalue $\lambda >0 $, together with an upper bound on the energy of the vector field $\xi $, implies that $M$ is isometric to the $n$-sphere $S^{n}(\lambda )$. We also introduce the notion of $\varphi $-analytic conformal vector fields, study their properties, and obtain a characterization of $n$-spheres using these vector fields.
