ZERO SCALAR CURVATURE ON OPEN MANIFOLDS

ZERO SCALAR CURVATURE ON OPEN MANIFOLDS

Let (M, g) be a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold of dimension n $\geq$ 3 with scalar curvature S, which is close to O. With conditions on a conformal invariant and scalar curvature of (M, g), we show that there exists a conformal metric (equation omitted), near g, whose scalar curvature (equation omitted) = 0 by gluing solutions of the corresponding partial differential equation on each bounded subsets $K_{i}$ with ∪$K_{i}$ = M.
