Abstract
We investigate the low-energy behavior of the gradient flow of the L2L2 norm of the Riemannian curvature on four-manifolds. We show long time existence and exponential convergence to a metric of constant sectional curvature when the initial metric has positive Yamabe constant and small initial energy.
