We classify manifolds of small dimension that admit both, a Riemannian metric of non-negative scalar curvature, and a -- a priori different -- metric for which all wedge products of harmonic forms are harmonic. For manifolds whose first Betti numbers are sufficiently large, this classification extends to higher dimensions.
For a harmonic map $u:M^3to S^1$ on a closed, oriented $3$--manifold, we establish the identity $$2pi int_{thetain S^1}chi(Sigma_{theta})geq frac{1}{2}int_{thetain S^1}int_{Sigma_{theta}}(|du|^{-2}|Hess(u)|^2+R_M)$$ relating the scalar curvature $R_M
Motivated by the work of Li and Mantoulidis, we study singular metrics which are uniformly Euclidean $(L^infty)$ on a compact manifold $M^n$ ($nge 3$) with negative Yamabe invariant $sigma(M)$. It is well-known that if $g$ is a smooth metric on $M$ w
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 on
Extending Aubins construction of metrics with constant negative scalar curvature, we prove that every $n$-dimensional closed manifold admits a Riemannian metric with constant negative scalar-Weyl curvature, that is $R+t|W|, tinmathbb{R}$. In particul
For a homotopically energy-minimizing map $u: N^3to S^1$ on a compact, oriented $3$-manifold $N$ with boundary, we establish an identity relating the average Euler characteristic of the level sets $u^{-1}{theta}$ to the scalar curvature of $N$ and th
