Topological Aspects of Curvature Integrals (A04)
Subject Area
Mathematics
Term
since 2014
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 224262486
We use index theory to study the topology of the space of positive scalar curvature metrics and the space of initial data sets satisfying the dominant energy condition on closed manifolds. Relations between curvature integrals (e.g., the minimal volume, the Yamabe invariant) and positive scalar curvature metrics are explored.
