Teilprojekt B6 im SFB/Transregio 71: Estimates for Scalar Curvature.

Description of the project:
On some Riemannian manifolds one cannot increase both the metric and the scalar curvature simultaneously at each point. We hope to show that Ricci-positive manifolds have this property. We are also looking for a general condition for Riemannian manifolds, under which one cannot increase the metric and the first Dirac eigenvalue simultaneously. These questions are related to Gromov's concepts of K-area and K-length and to L∞ curvature estimates that are similar in spirit to known L² curvature estimates.
