Non-negative versus positive scalar curvature

Abstract

We show that results about spaces or moduli spaces of positive scalar curvature metrics proved using index theory can typically be extended to non-negative scalar curvature metrics. We illustrate this by providing explicit generalizations of some classical results concerning moduli spaces of positive scalar curvature metrics.

A problem in the proof of Proposition 3.5 has been fixed, requiring a re-formulation of Proposition 3.6. Some general revision has also been carried out
