Let be a smooth metric on with non-negative scalar curvature. We show that if satisfies for some…
A Positive Mass Theorem for Continuous Metrics
Liam Mazurowski, Xuan Yao
Let be a continuous metric on which is asymptotically flat in the sense that for some . Fur…
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…
Generalized -stability theorem
Tongrui Wang, Xuan Yao
We use the equivariant -bubbles technique to prove that for any compact manifold with non-empty boundary, , the Yamabe invariant of is positive if and…
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 …
