Scalar curvature comparison of rotationally symmetric sets
Abstract
Let be a compact 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature . The boundary is diffeomorphic to the boundary of a rotationally symmetric and weakly convex body in . We call a model or a reference. Let and be respectively the mean curvatures of in and in , and be the induced metric from and . We show that for some classes of , if , and the dihedral angles at the nonsmooth part of are no greater than the model, then is flat. We also generalize this result to the hyperbolic case and some spaces with -symmetry. Our approach is inspired by Gromov.

Comments
The assumption $g\ge\delta$ is not needed in the case (c) of Theorem 1.2 with unchanged proof. We have removed the assumption in the version submitted to journals, but failed to update the arXiv promptly
