2/4 Old, New and Unknown around Scalar Curvature

By Mikhail Gromov

Appears in collection : Mikhail Gromov - Old, New and Unknown around Scalar Curvature

Geometry of scalar curvature, that is comparable in scope to symplectic geometry, mediates between two worlds: the domain of rigidity, one sees in convexity and the realm of softness, characteristic of topology, such as the cobordism theory. The aim of this course is threefold: 1. An overview of old and new results, mostly, but not exclusively, on the rigidity side, of manifolds X with positive and, more generally, bounded from below scalar curvatures Sc(X), along with a brief introduction to main techniques. 2. Proof of new geometric comparison type inequalities for Riemannian manifolds X with lower bounds on Sc(X) and on mean curvatures of the boundaries of X. 3. Discussion of open problems concerning Sc superior at 0.
