On symmetric finsler spaces ofHp-scalar curvature and scalar curvature

Periodica Mathematica Hungarica, 1986
A Finsler space \(F_ n\) is said to be of Hp-scalar curvature if \(p\cdot H_{\ell ijr}=k(h_{\ell j} h_{ir}-h_{\ell r} h_{ij})\), where \(H_{\ell ijr}\) is the Berwald h-curvature tensor, p is an operator projecting on the indicatrix, \(h_{ij}\) is the angular metric tensor, and k is the curvature scalar.

Scalar curvature and hammocks

Mathematische Annalen, 1999
The author considers the generalization of the Gaussian curvature on an \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold and the question of the deformation, i.e., the increase/decrease, of the scalar curvature which he calls the ``hammock effect''. Contents include the following sections: an introduction; singular conformal deformations; hammocks; curvature ...

On the P-Scalar Curvature [PDF]

open access: possibleThe Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2016
We study the P-scalar curvature operator used by Perelman in the context of manifolds with density. We verify that the Gromov–Lawson surgery for positive scalar curvature extends naturally to positive P-scalar curvature. By studying the first variation of the P-scalar curvature operator, we obtain local perturbation results for the P-scalar curvature ...

The Scalar Curvature

1976
We shall deal with some problems concerning the scalar curvature of compact riemannian manifolds. In particular we shall deal with the problem of Yamabe: Does there exist a conformal metric for which the scalar curvature is constant? And also problems posed by Chern, Nirenberg and others.

On the scalar curvature of compact hypersurfaces

Archiv der Mathematik, 1999
In the paper under review, by using the method of integral formulas, the authors prove the following: Let \(M\) be a compact and connected hypersurface in the Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R} ^{n+1}\) with scalar curvature \(\tau\). If \(p^2 \tau \leq 1\), where \(p\) is the support function with respect to a point \(p _0\) in \(\mathbb{R} ^{n+1}\), then \(

Prescribed Scalar Curvature [PDF]

open access: possible, 1998
Let (M n , g) be a C ∞ Riemannian manifold of dimension n ≥ 2. Given f a smooth function on M n , the Problem is: Does there exist a metric g′ on M such that the scalar curvature R′ of g′ is equal to f ?
