In this paper, we investigate a class of quadratic Riemannian curvature functionals on closed smooth manifold M of dimension n > 3 on the space of Riemannian metrics on M consisting of metrics with unit volume. We study the stability of these functionals at the metric with constant sectional curvature as its critical point.
