Scalar curvature rigidity of domains in a warped product

Abstract

By exploiting the conformality of a warped product metric with a direct product metric, we develop a new connection on a twisted spinor bundle and its associated Dirac operator. We obtain a Llarull type scalar curvature rigidity for a general class of domains in a warped product. Also, we are able to address Gromov dihedral rigidity in hyperbolic space assuming matching angles.
