  • It has been conjectured that, on a compact 3-dimensional orientable manifold, a critical point of the total scalar curvature restricted to the space of constant scalar curvature metrics of unit volume is Einstein. In this paper we prove this conjecture under a condition that ker $s^{\prime}^*_g{\neq}0$, which generalizes the previous partial results.

  • On a compact n-dimensional manifold M, it has been conjectured that a critical point of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of unit volume, is Einstein. In this paper, after derivng an interesting curvature identity, we show that the conjecture is true in dimension three and four when g is weakly Einstein. In higher dimensional case $n{\geq}5$, we also show that the conjecture is true under an additional Ricci curvature bound. Moreover, we prove that the manifold is isometric to a standard n-sphere when it is n-dimensional weakly Einstein and the kernel of the linearized scalar curvature operator is nontrivial.

  • We let (M,g) be a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold of dimension n $\geq$ 3 with scalar curvatue S, which is close to -1. We show the existence of a conformal metric $\bar{g}$, near to g, whose scalar curvature $\bar{S}$ = -1 by gluing solutions of the corresponding partial differential equation on each bounded subsets $K_i$ with ${\bigcup}K_i$ = M.

  • In this paper, we study the unicorn's Landsberg problem from an intrinsic point of view. Precisely, we investigate a coordinate-free proof of Numata's theorem on Landsberg spaces of scalar curvature. In other words, following the pullback approach to Finsler geometry, we prove that all Landsberg spaces of dimension n ≥ 3 of non-zero scalar curvature are Riemannian spaces of constant curvature.

  • Let $G\;=\;O(k){\times}O(k){\times}O(q)$ and let $M^n$ be a closed G-invariant minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in $S^{n+1}$. Then we obtain a theorem: If $M^n$ has 2 distinct principal curvatures at some point p, then the square norm of the second fundamental form of $M^n$, S = n.
