Spaces of metrics with positive spectral scalar curvature
Gioacchino Antonelli, Georg Frenck, Bernhard Hanke
Let and let be a closed connected smooth manifold. Let be the space of smooth Riemannian metrics on for which the generalized conformal Laplace oper…

The lock principle for scalar curvature
Georg Frenck, Bernhard Hanke, Sven Hirsch
We prove a Riemannian positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat spin manifolds with hypersurface singularities. Unlike earlier results, some components of the singular set may…

Surgery and total mean curvature
Georg Frenck, Bernhard Hanke, Sven Hirsch
We prove Gromov's conjecture on the total mean curvature of fill-ins in various cases. Our methods are based on surgery to reduce the statement to fill-ins of spheres, which can be…
