In the first part of this paper, we consider the problem of fill-in of nonnegative scalar curvature (NNSC) metrics for a triple of Bartnik data $(\Sigma,\gamma,H)$. We prove that given a metric $\gamma$ on $\mathbf{S}^{n-1}$ ($3\leq n\leq…

In this paper, we consider the problem of nonnegative scalar curvature (NNSC) cobordism of Bartnik data $(\Sigma_1^{n-1}, \gamma_1, H_1)$ and $(\Sigma_2^{n-1}, \gamma_2, H_2)$. We prove that given two metrics $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ on…

Consider a triple of "Bartnik data" $(\Sigma, \gamma,H)$, where $\Sigma$ is a topological 2-sphere with Riemannian metric $\gamma$ and positive function $H$. We view Bartnik data as a boundary condition for the problem of finding a compact…

We generalize Y. Shi and L.-F.\ Tam's \cite{ShiTam} nonnegativity result for the Brown-York mass, by considering nonnegative scalar curvature (NNSC) fill-ins that need only be complete rather than compact. Moreover, the NNSC fill-ins need…

Given a constant C and a smooth closed $(n-1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(\Sigma, g)$ equipped with a positive function $H$, a natural question to ask is whether this manifold can be realised as the boundary of a smooth…

On a closed manifold, consider the space of all Riemannian metrics for which -Delta + kR is positive (nonnegative) definite, where k > 0 and R is the scalar curvature. This spectral generalization of positive (nonnegative) scalar curvature…

Let $M$ be an orientable connected $n$-dimensional manifold with $n\in\{6,7\}$ and let $Y\subset M$ be a two-sided closed connected incompressible hypersurface which does not admit a metric of positive scalar curvature (abbreviated by psc).…

Given a complete Riemannian metric of nonnegative scalar curvature on $\Sigma \times (-\infty, 0 ] $, where $\Sigma$ denotes a $2$-sphere, we exhibit conditions that imply the existence of a closed minimal surface homologous to the…

In the first part of this paper, we prove the extensibility of an arbitrary boundary metric to a positive scalar curvature (PSC) metric inside for a compact manifold with boundary, which completely solves an open problem due to Gromov (see…

We show that if $N$ is a closed manifold of dimension $n=4$ (resp. $n=5$) with $\pi_2(N) = 0$ (resp. $\pi_2(N)=\pi_3(N)=0$) that admits a metric of positive scalar curvature, then a finite cover $\hat N$ of $N$ is homotopy equivalent to…

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…

Making use of integral representations, we develop a unified approach to establish blow up profiles, compactness and existence of positive solutions of the conformally invariant equations $P_\sigma(v)= Kv^{\frac{n+2\sigma}{n-2\sigma}}$ on…

Given a metric $\gamma$ of nonnegative Gauss curvature and a positive function $H$ on a $2$-sphere $\Sigma$, we estimate the Bartnik quasi-local mass of $(\Sigma, \gamma, H)$ in terms of the area, the total mean curvature, and a quantity…

The purpose of this paper is to derive volume and other geometric information for three-dimensional complete manifolds with positive scalar curvature. In the case that the Ricci curvature is nonnegative, it is shown that the volume of the…

Let $(N,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with nonempty boundary $\pt N$. Assume that the Ricci curvature of $N$ has a negative lower bound $Ric\geq -(n-1)c^2$ for some $c>0$, and the mean curvature of the boundary $\pt…

In this note we show that a closed Riemannian manifold does not admit a fill-in with nonnegative scalar curvature if the mean curvature is point-wise large. Similar result also holds for fill-ins with a negative scalar curvature lower…

Let $g$ be a metric on the $2$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ with positive Gaussian curvature and $H$ be a positive constant. Under suitable conditions on $(g, H)$, we construct smooth, asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds $M$ with non-negative scalar…

In this paper we will show the following result: Let $\mathcal{N} $ be a complete (noncompact) connected orientable Riemannian three-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature $S \geq 0$ and bounded sectional curvature $ K_{s} \leq K $.…

Consider a compact Riemannian manifold M of dimension n whose boundary \partial M is totally geodesic and is isometric to the standard sphere S^{n-1}. A natural conjecture of Min-Oo asserts that if the scalar curvature of M is at least…

In this paper, we prove for $n\leq 7$ that if a differentiable $n$-manifold contains a relatively incompressible essential hypersurface in some class $\mathcal C_{deg}$, then it admits no complete metric with positive scalar curvature.…
