An <Einstein manifold> has <Ricci curvature> equal to a constant multiple of its metric. In the Riemannian setting, the round unit sphere has $\Lambda=n-1$. This condition is weaker than constant <sectional curvature> in higher dimensions. The definition can also be applied to pseudo-Riemannian metrics, but positivity is assumed in the completeness theorems discussed here.
