We start with introducing one of the most fundamental notions of differential geometry, Manifolds. We present some properties and constructions such as submanifolds, tangent spaces and the tangent map. Then we continue with introducing the real and complex projective space, and describe them from some different points of view. This part is finished by showing that CP^n is a Grassmannian manifold. At this stage we are ready to present the main subject of this thesis. The Schwarzian curvature, usually seems to be an accidental by-product of the calculations, can be seen as a geometric interpretation of the Schwarzian derivative. Flanders interpreted the Schwarzian derivative of a C function as a curvature for curves in the projective line by using the moving frame method of Cartan. The same argumentation was extended by Gao to obtain the Schwarzian curvatures for curves in higher dimensional projective spaces. I give detailed presentation of Gaos work, where he presented the general formulas for the Schwarzian curvatures for curves in CP^n and gives some properties for the behaviour of the formulas, for example the transformation rules under change of coordinates. The Schwarzian curvatures for curves in CP, CP^2 and CP^3 are calculated, and some examples are given.

The conullity of a curvature tensor is the codimension of its kernel. We consider the cases of conullity two in any dimension and conullity three in dimension four. We show that these conditions are compatible with non-negative sectional curvature only if either the manifold is diffeomorphic to $mathbb{R}^n$ or the universal cover is an isometric product with a Euclidean factor. Moreover, we show that finite volume manifolds with conullity 3 are locally products.

We study harmonic maps from a 3-manifold with boundary to $mathbb{S}^1$ and prove a special case of dihedral rigidity of three dimensional cubes whose dihedral angles are $pi / 2$. Furthermore we give some applications to mapping torus hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
The notion of the Ricci curvature is defined for sprays on a manifold. With a volume form on a manifold, every spray can be deformed to a projective spray. The Ricci curvature of a projective spray is called the projective Ricci curvature. In this paper, we introduce the notion of projectively Ricci-flat sprays. We establish a global rigidity result for projectively Ricci-flat sprays with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Then we study and characterize projectively Ricci-flat Randers metrics.
In the first part of this paper, we prove the extensibility of an arbitrary boundary metric to a positive scalar curvature (PSC) metric inside for a compact manifold with boundary, which completely solves an open problem due to Gromov (see Question ref{extension1}). Then we introduce a fill-in invariant (see Definition ref{fillininvariant}) and discuss its relationship with the positive mass theorems for asymptotically flat (AF) and asymptotically hyperbolic (AH) manifolds. Moreover, we prove that the positive mass theorem for AH manifolds implies that for AF manifolds. In the end, we give some estimates for the fill-in invariant, which provide some partially affirmative answers to Gromovs conjectures formulated in cite{Gro19} (see Conjecture ref{conj0} and Conjecture ref{conj1} below)

We first present a warped product manifold with boundary to show the non-uniqueness of the positive constant scalar curvature and positive constant boundary mean curvature equation. Next, we construct a smooth counterexample to show that the compactness of the set of lower energy solutions to the above equation fails when the dimension of the manifold is not less than $62$.
