In this paper, for any compact Lie group $G$, we show that the space of $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics with positive scalar curvature (PSC) on any closed three-manifold is either empty or contractible. In particular, we prove the…
We show that any closed manifold with a metric of nonpositive curvature that admits either a single point rank condition or a single point curvature condition has positive simplicial volume. We use this to provide a differential geometric…
The study of comparison theorems in geometry has a rich history. In this paper, we establish a comparison theorem for polyhedra in 3-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature, answering affirmatively a dihedral rigidity conjecture by…
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…
In this paper, we are going to show some rigidity results for complete open Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. Without using the famous Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem we give a new proof to a rigidity result for…
A long-standing conjecture in complex geometry says that a compact Hermitian manifold with constant holomorphic sectional curvature must be K\"ahler when the constant is non-zero and must be Chern flat when the constant is zero. The…
In 2014, Gromov vaguely conjectured that a sequence of manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature should have a subsequence which converges in some weak sense to a limit space with some generalized notion of nonnegative scalar curvature.…
We study obstructions to the existence of Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on closed smooth manifolds arising from torsion classes in the integral homology of their fundamental groups. As an application, we construct new…
We give a complete answer to the question of when two curves in two different Riemannian manifolds can be seen as trajectories of rolling one manifold on the other without twisting or slipping. We show that up to technical hypotheses, a…
In this article, we classify (non-compact) $3$-manifolds with uniformly positive scalar curvature. Precisely, we show that an oriented $3$-manifold has a complete metric with uniformly positive scalar curvature if and only if it is…
We prove Gromov's conjecture on the total mean curvature of fill-ins in various cases. Our methods are based on surgery to reduce the statement to fill-ins of spheres, which can be treated by instances of the positive mass theorem. For spin…
We show an equivariant bordism principle for constructing metrics of positive scalar curvature that are invariant under a given group action. Furthermore, we develop a new codimension-2 surgery technique which removes singular strata from…
Using minimal hypersurfaces, we obtain topological obstructions to admitting complete metrics with positive scalar curvature on a given class of non-compact n-manifolds with n less than 8. We show that the Liouville theorem for a locally…
In this paper, we investigate the topological obstruction problem for positive scalar curvature and uniformly positive scalar curvature on open manifolds. We present a definition for open Schoen-Yau-Schick manifolds and prove that there is…
We prove that every locally conformally flat metric on a closed, oriented hyperbolic 4-manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by -12 satisfies Schoen's conjecture. We also classify all closed Riemannian 4-manifolds of positive scalar…
Let $M_\Sigma$ be an $n$-dimensional Thom-Mather stratified space of depth $1$. We denote by $\beta M$ the singular locus and by $L$ the associated link. In this paper we study the problem of when such a space can be endowed with a wedge…
On a compact n-dimensional manifold, it has been conjectured that a critical point metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of unit volume, will be Einstein. This conjecture was…
We show that if $(M,\omega)$ is any compact K\"ahler manifold, then the blowup of $M$ at any point furnishes a K\"ahler metric with scalar curvature globally and arbitrarily $C^0$-close to the scalar curvature of $\omega$. It follows that…
In a recent paper, the authors proved that no spin foliation on a compact enlargeable manifold with Hausdorff homotopy graph admits a metric of positive scalar curvature on its leaves. This result extends groundbreaking results of…
We give sufficient and "almost" necessary conditions for the prescribed scalar curvature problems within the conformal class of a Riemannian metric $ g $ for both closed manifolds and compact manifolds with boundary, including the…
