The aim of this article is to study the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of volume 1 that satisfies the critical point equationL g * ( f ) = R i c ˚ , for simplicity CPE metrics. It has been conjectured that every CPE metric must be Einstein. Here, we shall focus our attention for 4‐dimensional half conformally flat manifolds M 4 . In fact, we shall show that for a nontrivial f ,M 4must be isometric to a sphereS 4 and f is some height function onS 4 .
