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…

In a 2013 paper, Gromov proves that if smooth Riemannian metrics $g_i$ converge to a smooth Riemannian metric $g$ uniformly, and $g_i$ have scalar curvature uniformly bounded below, then $g$ shares the same scalar curvature lower bound. In…

We prove that various spaces of constrained positive scalar curvature metrics on compact 3-manifolds with boundary, when not empty, are contractible. The constraints we mostly focus on are given in terms of local conditions on the mean…

In this paper we have proved that a compact Riemannian manifold does not admit a metric with positive scalar curvature if there exists a real valued function in this manifold which is strictly positive along a geodesic ray satisfying…

On a smooth asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with non-compact boundary, we prove a positive mass theorem for metrics which are only continuous across a compact hypersurface. As an application, we obtain a positive mass theorem on…

We study a particular class of open manifolds. In the category of Riemannian manifolds these are complete manifolds with cylindrical ends. We give a natural setting for the conformal geometry on such manifolds including an appropriate…

We prove that if an orientable 3-manifold $M$ admits a complete Riemannian metric whose scalar curvature is positive and has a subquadratic decay at infinity, then it decomposes as a (possibly infinite) connected sum of spherical manifolds…

We generalize the famous result of Gromov and Lawson on the nonexistence of metric of positive scalar curvature on enlargeable manifolds to the case of foliations, without using index theorems on noncompact manifolds.

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be an asymptotically Euclidean end in an otherwise arbitrary complete and connected Riemannian spin manifold $(M,g)$. We show that if $\mathcal{E}$ has negative ADM-mass, then there exists a constant $R > 0$, depending…
