Scalar Curvature via Local Extent

Abstract: We give a metric characterization of the scalar curvature of a smooth Riemannian manifold, analyzing the maximal distance between (n+1) points in infinitesimally small neighborhoods of a point. Since this characterization is purely in terms of the distance function, it could be used to approach the problem of defining the scalar curvature on a non-smooth metric space. In the second part we will discuss this issue, focusing in particular on Alexandrov spaces and surfaces with bounded integral curvature.(1). On … Show more

“…What about a synthetic version of the non negative scalar curvature? An attempt to give a non differential definition of scalar curvature was made in [67], which could lead to a notion of scalar curvature for metric spaces. Some recent works by M. Gromov seem to pave the way towards such a notion; the interested reader is referred to [32,33] and the preprints posted here.…”
