OpenAI reports Gromov’s integral scalar-curvature bound

For every n≥3, a dimension-dependent constant aₙ>0 bounds the integral of the n/2 power of the negative part of scalar curvature below by aₙ times real simplicial volume, for every closed connected oriented smooth n-manifold and metric.

For every n≥3, a dimension-dependent constant aₙ>0 bounds the integral of the n/2 power of the negative part of scalar curvature below by aₙ times real simplicial volume, for every closed connected oriented smooth n-manifold and metric.

Why it matters

If correct, proves the general integral scalar-curvature inequality proposed by Gromov.

What counts as progress

Does negative scalar curvature control real simplicial volume through Gromov’s integral bound?
