We find an explicit C ∞ -continuous path of Riemannian metrics gt on the 4-d hyperbolic space H 4 , for 0 ≤ t ≤ ε for some number ε > 0 with the following property: g0 is the hyperbolic metric on H 4 , the scalar curvatures of gt are strictly decreasing in t in an open ball and g t is isometric to the hyperbolic metric in the complement of the ball.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
