In this paper, we give both positive and negative answers to Gromov's compactness question regarding positive scalar curvature metrics on noncompact manifolds. First we construct examples that give a negative answer to Gromov's compactness…

We study various covering spectra for complete noncompact length spaces with universal covers (including Riemannian manifolds and the pointed Gromov Hausdorff limits of Riemannian manifolds with lower bounds on their Ricci curvature). We…

Let $(M,g^{TM})$ be a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$, and let $F\subseteq TM$ be an integrable subbundle of $TM$. Let $g^F=g^{TM}|_{F}$ be the restricted metric on $F$ and let $k^F$ be the associated leafwise…

We develop index theory on compact Riemannian spin manifolds with boundary in the case when the topological information is encoded by bundles which are supported away from the boundary. As a first application, we establish a "long neck…

Gromov conjectured that the total mean curvature of the boundary of a compact Riemannian manifold can be estimated from above by a constant depending only on the boundary metric and on a lower bound for the scalar curvature of the fill-in.…

We prove for $n\in\{3,4,5\}$ that the connected sum of a closed aspherical $n$-manifold with an arbitrary non-compact manifold does not admit a complete metric with nonnegative scalar curvature. In particular, a special case of our result…

In this work we construct a sequence of Riemannian metrics on the three-sphere with scalar curvature greater than or equal to $6$ and arbitrarily large widths. Our procedure is based on the connected sum construction of positive scalar…

We find an upper bound for the Gromov width of coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups with respect to the Kirillov Kostant Souriau form by computing certain Gromov Witten invariants, the approach presented here is closely related to the one…

For a complete noncompact connected Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, we prove the existence of isoperimetric regions in a larger space obtained by adding finitely many limit manifolds at infinity. As one of many possible…

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…

We prove a splitting theorem for a smooth noncompact manifold with (possibly noncompact) boundary. We show that if a noncompact manifold of dimension $n\geq 2$ has $\lambda_1(-\alpha\Delta+\operatorname{Ric})\geq 0$ for some…

We establish a relationship between a certain notion of covering complexity of a Riemannian spin manifold and positive lower bounds on its scalar curvature. This makes use of a pairing between quantitative operator $K$-theory and Lipschitz…

We prove that the integral of scalar curvature over a Riemannian manifold is uniformly bounded below in terms of its dimension, upper bounds on sectional curvature and volume, and a lower bound on injectivity radius. This is an analogue of…

By making use of the classification of real simple Lie algebra, we get the maximum of the squared length of restricted roots case by case, thus we get the upper bounds of sectional curvature for irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of…

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.

We prove a mixed curvature analogue of Gromov's almost flat manifolds theorem for upper sectional and lower Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature bounds.

In this paper, we employ quotients of Roe algebras as index containers for elliptic differential operators to study the existence problem of Riemannian metrics with positive scalar curvature on non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds. The…

Spectral triples for nonunital algebras model locally compact spaces in noncommutative geometry. In the present text, we prove the local index formula for spectral triples over nonunital algebras, without the assumption of local units in…

In this paper I present a comparison theorem for the waist of Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature. The main theorem of this paper gives a partial positive answer to a conjecture formulated by M.Gromov in [8]. The content…

We consider a RCD$(-(N-1),N)$ space $(X,d,\mathcal{H}^N)$ with local bounded covering geometry. The first result is related to Gromov's almost flat manifold theorem. Specifically, if for every point $\tilde{p}$ in the universal cover…
