Nonnegative Q-curvature and scalar curvature imply nonnegative Ricci curvature
Nonnegative Q-curvature and scalar curvature imply nonnegative Ricci curvature
Let be a complete four-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Nonnegative curvature implication conjecture. If
then
This is motivated by results for conformally flat four-manifolds and is presently stated as a conjectural extension to complete four-manifolds. The source gives no general proof or resolution.
