Deformation of the Weighted Scalar Curvature
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2023 Inspired by the work of Fischer-Marsden [Duke Math. J. 42 (1975), 519-547], we study in this paper the deformation of the weighted scalar curvature. By studying the kernel of the formal $L_\phi^2$-adjoint for the linearization of the weighted scalar curvature, we prove several geometric results.

On scalar curvature lower bounds and scalar curvature measure
Advances in Mathematics, 2022 We relate the (non)existence of lower scalar curvature bounds to the existence of certain distance-decreasing maps. We also give a sufficient condition for the existence of a limiting scalar curvature measure in the backward limit of a Ricci flow solution.

Kropina Metrics with Isotropic Scalar Curvature
Axioms, 2023 In this paper, we study Kropina metrics with isotropic scalar curvature. First, we obtain the expressions of Ricci curvature tensor and scalar curvature. Then, we characterize the Kropina metrics with isotropic scalar curvature on by tensor analysis.

TOTAL SCALAR CURVATURE AND HARMONIC CURVATURE
Taiwanese Journal of Mathematics, 2014 On a compact n-dimensional manifold, it has been conjectured that a critical point metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of unit volume, will be Einstein. This conjecture was proposed in 1984 by Besse, but has yet to be proved.

On Scalar and Ricci Curvatures [PDF]
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2021 The purpose of this report is to acknowledge the influence of M. Gromov's vision of geometry on our own works. It is two-fold: in the first part we aim at describing some results, in dimension 3, around the question: which open 3-manifolds carry a complete Riemannian metric of positive or non negative scalar curvature?

Foliated Positive Scalar Curvature [PDF]
, 2021 In this thesis we study different questions on scalar curvatures. The first part is devoted to obstructions against existence of a (Riemannian) metric with positive scalar curvature on a closed manifold.

Scalar Curvature and Q-Curvature of Random Metrics [PDF]
The Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2010 We study Gauss curvature for random Riemannian metrics on a compact surface, lying in a fixed conformal class; our questions are motivated by comparison geometry. Next, analogous questions are considered for the scalar curvature in dimension $n>2$, and for the $Q$-curvature of random Riemannian metrics.

Mean Curvature in the Light of Scalar Curvature [PDF]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, 2020 We formulate several conjectures on mean convex domains in the Euclidean spaces, as well as in more general spaces with lower bounds on their scalar curvatures, and prove a few theorems motivating these ...

Scalar curvature in discrete gravity
The European Physical Journal C, 2022 AbstractWe focus on studying, numerically, the scalar curvature tensor in a two-dimensional discrete space. The continuous metric of a two-sphere is transformed into that of a lattice using two possible slicings. In the first, we use two integers, while in the second we consider the case where one of the coordinates is ignorable.
