In this work, we consider sequences of $C^2$ metrics which converge to a $C^2$ metric in $C^0$ sense. We show that if the scalar curvature of the sequence is almost non-negative in the integral sense, then the limiting metric has scalar…

We show that the curvature of a positive relative line module over quantum projective space is given by $q$-integer deformation of its classical curvature. This generalises a result of Majid for the Podle\'s sphere.

We discuss several features of the propagation of perturbations in nonlinear scalar field theories using the effective metric. It is shown that the effective metric can be classified according to whether the gradient of the scalar field is…

We show that any space with a positive upper curvature bound has in a small neighborhood of any point a closely related metric with a negative upper curvature bound.

We show that the moduli space of Riemannian metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature on certain quotients of Brieskorn varieties in dimension 5 has infinitely many path components. The same is true for the corresponding moduli space of…

We apply tilting theory over preprojective algebras $Lambda$ to a study of moduli space of $Lambda$-modules. We define the categories of semistable modules and give an equivalence, so-called reflection functors, between them by using…

In this paper, we study the interplay of geometry and positive scalar curvature on a complete, non-compact manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature. In three-dimensional manifold, we prove a minimal volume growth, an estimate of integral…

We prove that any smooth Riemannian manifold of non-negative scalar curvature and with a strictly mean convex and compact boundary component can be (C^2) extended beyond the component to have non-negative scalar curvature and to enjoy…

We present a series of results concerning the interplay between the scalar curvature of a manifold and the mean curvature of its boundary. In particular, we give a complete topological characterization of those compact 3-manifolds that…

In this paper we develop methods to extend the minimal hypersurface approach to positive scalar curvature problems to all dimensions. This includes a proof of the positive mass theorem in all dimensions without a spin assumption. It also…

Let $N$ be a closed enlargeable manifold in the sense of Gromov-Lawson and $M$ a closed spin manifold of equal dimension, a famous theorem of Gromov-Lawson states that the connected sum $M\# N$ admits no metric of positive scalar curvature.…

We show that an enlargeable Riemannian metric on a (possibly nonspin) manifold cannot have uniformly positive scalar curvature. This extends a well-known result of Gromov and Lawson to the nonspin setting. We also prove that every…
