Curvature bounds for regularized riemannian metrics

Differential Geometry 2020-03-30 v2

Abstract

We investigate regularization of riemannian metrics by mollification. Assuming both-sided bounds on the Ricci tensor and a lower injectivity radius bound we obtain a uniform estimate on the change of the sectional curvature. Actually, our result holds for any metric with a uniform bound on the W2,pW^{2,p}-harmonic radius.
