摘要

In this paper, we study scalar curvature rigidity of non-smooth metrics on smooth manifolds with non-positive Yamabe invariant. We prove that if the scalar curvature is not less than the Yamabe invariant in the distributional sense, then the manifold must be isometric to an Einstein manifold. This result extends Theorem 1.4 in Jiang, Sheng and Zhang [27], from a special case where the manifolds have zero Yamabe invariant to general cases where the manifolds have non-positive Yamabe invariant.
