Abstract: In this paper, we discuss a question about what condition can enforce a compact Riemannian manifold carrying a nontrivial conformal vector field and with a constant scalar curvature to be isometric to an Euclidean sphere. We also study a Riemannian manifold with nonconstant scalar curvature and obtain some corresponding rigidity theorems.

Key words: Conformal vector field, Rigidity theorem, Scalar curvature, Modified Ricci tensor
