Scalar-mean rigidity theorem for compact manifolds with boundary

Abstract

We prove a scalar-mean rigidity theorem for compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary in dimension less than five by developing a dimension reduction argument for mean curvature, which extends Schoen-Yau's dimension reduction argument for scalar curvature. As a corollary, we prove the sharp spherical radius rigidity theorem and best NNSC fill-in in terms of the mean curvature. Moreover, we prove a Lipschitz Listing type scalar-mean rigidity theorem for these dimensions.
