Positive scalar-curvature rigidity conjecture for small-curvature noncompact manifolds
Let and . Let be a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold. Assume that
and . Positive scalar-curvature rigidity conjecture. There exists such that every such is isometric to . The conjecture would give a rigidity theorem under Sobolev control, at-most-Euclidean volume growth, small curvature, and nonnegative scalar curvature, extending the positive-mass rigidity perspective discussed in the paper.
