More precisely, if $(M^3, g)$ is a 3-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold with non-negative scalar curvature, then \\[\\int_M |Ric-\\frac{\\bar R} 3 g|^2 dv (g)\\le 9\\int_M |Ric-\\frac{R} 3 g|^2dv(g), \\] where $\\bar R=vol (g)^{-1} \\int_M R dv(g)$ is the average of the scalar curvature $R$ of $g$. Equality holds if and only if $(M^3,g)$ is a space form.
