Stable -systoles, scalar curvature and spin comass bounds

Simone Cecchini, Sven Hirsch, Rudolf Zeidler

We prove a sharp stable -systolic inequality for complex projective space under the scalar curvature lower bound of the normalized Fubini-Study metric. If is diffeomorphic t…

The degree condition in Llarull's theorem on scalar curvature rigidity

Christian Baer, Rudolf Zeidler

Llarull's scalar curvature rigidity theorem states that a 1-Lipschitz map from a closed connected Riemannian spin manifold with scalar curvature $\mathrm{scal}\ge…

Positive scalar curvature with point singularities

Simone Cecchini, Georg Frenck, Rudolf Zeidler

We show that in every dimension , there exists a smooth closed manifold which does not admit a smooth positive scalar curvature ("psc") metric, but admits an $\…

Rigidity of spin fill-ins with non-negative scalar curvature

Simone Cecchini, Sven Hirsch, Rudolf Zeidler

We establish new mean curvature rigidity theorems for spin fill-ins with non-negative scalar curvature using two different spinorial techniques. Our results address two questions b…

Positive mass theorems for spin initial data sets with arbitrary ends and dominant energy shields

Simone Cecchini, Martin Lesourd, Rudolf Zeidler

We prove a positive mass theorem for spin initial data sets that contain an asymptotically flat end and a shield of dominant energy (a subset of on which the dominant…

Scalar and mean curvature comparison via the Dirac operator

Simone Cecchini, Rudolf Zeidler

We use the Dirac operator technique to establish sharp distance estimates for compact spin manifolds under lower bounds on the scalar curvature in the interior and on the mean curv…

Width, Largeness and Index Theory

Rudolf Zeidler

In this note, we review some recent developments related to metric aspects of scalar curvature from the point of view of index theory for Dirac operators. In particular, we revisit…

Coarse median structures and homomorphisms from Kazhdan groups

Rudolf Zeidler

We study Bowditch's notion of a coarse median on a metric space and formally introduce the concept of a coarse median structure as an equivalence class of coarse medians up to clos…
