We establish extremality of Riemannian metrics g with non-negative curvature operator on symmetric spaces M = G/K of compact type with rk Grk K 1. Let αΈ‘ be another metric with scalar curvature ΞΊ, such that αΈ‘ g on 2-vectors. We show that ΞΊ ΞΊ everywhere on M implies ΞΊ = ΞΊ. Under an additional conditio

β¦ Synopsis
Combining vanishing arguments with certain Gromov-Lawson techniques some sharp estimates on the scalar curvature are found. More precisely, any compact spin (n + 4k)-dimensional manifold which admits a distance decreasing non-zero ~,-degree map onto the standard n-dimensional sphere must have a point at which the scalar curvature is stictly less than n(n + I)/(n +4k)(n + 4k -1), otherwise, the map is an isometric submersion.

In this paper, we use the so-called moving sphere method to give local estimates of a positive singular solution u near its singular set Z of the conformal scalar curvature equation ( where O ' B 2 is an open bounded subset of R n , n53; KΓ°xΓ is a continuous function defined on O and Z is a compact
