Non-negative scalar curvature on spin surgeries and Novikov conjecture

  • Jinmin Wang

摘要

Let M be a closed aspherical manifold. Assume that the rational strong Novikov conjecture holds for \(\pi _1(M)\) π 1 ( M ) . We show that on any spin surgery of M along a region whose induced homomorphism on the fundamental group is trivial, every complete metric with non-negative scalar curvature is Ricci-flat. In particular, on the connected sum of M with a spin manifold, any complete metric with non-negative scalar curvature is Ricci-flat.
