Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete connected noncompact smooth Riemannian manifold without boundary, with $n\ge3$ and positive scalar curvature. We prove that $M$ admits a complete smooth metric of uniformly positive scalar curvature if $$ \liminf_{d_g(o,x)\to\infty}d_g(o,x)^2R_g(x)>\frac{n-1}{n} $$ for a fixed point $o\in M$...
We first prove that every smooth boundary metric on a compact manifold extends to a metric with any prescribed positive lower bound for Ricci curvature, whereas extensions under stronger positive \(k^{\mathrm{th}}\)-intermediate Ricci curvature conditions may fail due to local obstructions. For negative sectional curva...
Let $4\le n\le7$ and let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete, connected, orientable, noncompact Riemannian manifold of positive scalar curvature. We prove that if the asymptotic quadratic scalar curvature coefficient of $g$ is greater than $(n-1)/n$, then $M$ carries a complete smooth metric whose scalar curvature is at least one....
