We prove the scalar curvature rigidity for $L^\infty$ metrics on $\mathbb S^n\backslash\Sigma$, where $\mathbb S^n$ is the $n$-dimensional sphere with $n\geq 3$ and $\Sigma$ is a closed subset of $\mathbb S^n$ of codimension at least…

On a compact manifold with boundary, the map consisting of the scalar curvature in the interior and the mean curvature on the boundary is a local surjection at generic metrics. We prove that this result may be localized to compact…

On a compact manifold $M$ with boundary $\partial M$, we study the problem of prescribing the scalar curvature in $M$ and the mean curvature on the boundary $\partial M$ simultaneously. To do this, we introduce the notion of singular…

We prove a splitting theorem for Riemannian n-manifolds with scalar curvature bounded below by a negative constant and containing certain area-minimising hypersurfaces (Theorem 3). Thus we generalise [25,Theorem 3] by Nunes. This splitting…
