Rigidity conjecture for nonnegative Q-curvature on closed flat manifolds
Rigidity conjecture for nonnegative Q-curvature on closed flat manifolds
Let , and let be a connected closed flat Riemannian manifold. A metric has pointwise positive Q-curvature if its Q-curvature is positive at every point. Rigidity conjecture. There is no metric on with pointwise positive Q-curvature. Moreover, if a metric on satisfies
then is flat. This would extend the preceding rigidity results for flat tori to all closed flat manifolds, using the Bieberbach theorem; the source does not provide a resolution.
