Scalar Curvature Rigidity for Products of convex Hypersurfaces and even dimensional Manifolds

Abstract

We give a proof of scalar curvature rigidity in the spirit of Llarull and Goette-Semmelmann for products of strictly convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space and nonnegatively curved spaces with non-vanishing Euler-characteristic. Our proof is based on the Fredholm family index theorem. This recovers corresponding results of Lockman-Zeidler where Clifford-linear (family) index theory is used.
