Scalar curvature rigidity of convex polytopes

Differential Geometry 2023-11-30 v4

Abstract

We prove a scalar curvature rigidity theorem for convex polytopes. The proof uses the Fredholm theory for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary. A variant of a theorem of Fefferman and Phong plays a central role in our analysis.
