Description
We prove that Riemannian metrics with a uniform weak norm can be smoothed to having arbitrarily high regularity. This generalizes all previous smoothing results. As a consequence we obtain a generalization of Gromov's almost flat manifold theorem. A uniform Betti number estimate is also obtained.
