Abstract
In this paper, we consider the scalar curvature in the distributional sense of \cite{MR3366052} and the scalar curvature lower bound in the weak sense of \cite{MR4685089} on an asymptotically flat manifold with a metric. We first show that the scalar curvature lower bound under the Ricci-DeTurck flow depends on the scalar curvature lower bound in the weak sense and the time. Then we prove that the lower bound of the distributional scalar curvature of a metric coincides with the lower bound of the scalar curvature in the weak sense at infinity.
