Title:Rigidity Results Involving Stabilized Scalar Curvature
Abstract:Gromov introduced the notion of stabilized scalar curvature, which arises naturally in the context of warped product extensions. This concept also appears in the study of the geometry of weighted manifolds and in Perelman's work on the Ricci flow. In this talk, I will explore the relationship between various formulations of stabilized scalar curvature and explain how several classical scalar curvature rigidity results can be extended to this more general setting.
