Scalar curvature under weak limits of manifolds

Liam Mazurowski, Xuan Yao

We show that scalar curvature lower bounds are preserved under certain weak convergence of smooth three manifolds to a smooth limit. More precisely, suppose that and are…

Quantification of Convergence in Dimension Three

Liam Mazurowski, Xuan Yao

We address Gromov's Quantification of Convergence Conjecture in dimension three. Let be the unit ball in . Let and be smooth metrics on . We pro…

Capillary minimal slicing and scalar curvature rigidity

Dongyeong Ko, Xuan Yao

We develop minimal slicing via capillary hypersurfaces to understand scalar curvature metric on manifolds bounded below with boundary. In particular, in dimension , we prove fol…

On the topology of manifolds with positive intermediate curvature

Liam Mazurowski, Tongrui Wang, Xuan Yao

We formulate a conjecture relating the topology of a manifold's universal cover with the existence of metrics with positive -intermediate curvature. We prove the result for mani…

Euclidean Domains with Nearly Maximal Yamabe Quotient

Liam Mazurowski, Xuan Yao

Let be a smooth, bounded domain in with connected boundary. It follows from work of Escobar that the Yamabe quotient of is at most the Yamabe quotient of a ba…

A Note on Scalar curvature comparison rigidity for compact domains

Xuan Yao

We prove a generalization of Gromov's conjecture on scalar curvature rigidity of convex polytopes to arbitrary convex Riemannian polytope type domains via harmonic spinors on conve…

Mass, Conformal Capacity, and the Volumetric Penrose Inequality

Liam Mazurowski, Xuan Yao

Let be a smooth, bounded subset of diffeomorphic to a ball. Consider equipped with an asymptotically flat metric $g = f^4 g_{\text…

Scalar curvature comparison and rigidity of -dimensional weakly convex domains

Dongyeong Ko, Xuan Yao

For a compact Riemannian -manifold with mean convex boundary which is diffeomorphic to a weakly convex compact domain in , we prove that if scalar c…

Minimal surfaces with low genus in lens spaces

Xingzhe Li, Tongrui Wang, Xuan Yao

Given a Riemannian with a bumpy metric or a metric of positive Ricci curvature, we show that there either exist four distinct minimal real projective planes, or exi…

On the stability of the Yamabe invariant of

Liam Mazurowski, Xuan Yao

Let be a complete, asymptotically flat metric on with vanishing scalar curvature. Moreover, assume that supports a nearly Euclidean Sobo…

Improved Hebey-Vaugon conjecture on equivariant Yamabe invariants in dimension 3

Tongrui Wang, Xuan Yao

Consider a closed connected -manifold acted diffeomorphically on by a compact Lie group with at least one orbit of finite cardinality. We show an upper bound for the …
