Dirichlet Energy of the Scalar Curvature
Abstract
In this article, we derive the first variation formula for the Dirichlet scalar curvature energy functional on Riemannian manifolds. Motivated by this variational framework, we introduce a natural generalization of Einstein metrics, called Dirichlet--Einstein metrics, and we investigate some of their fundamental properties.
