Strengthened injectivity radius bounds for manifolds with positive scalar curvature
Résumé
Green's inequality shows that a compact
Riemannian manifold with scalar curvature at least $n(n-1)$ has
injectivity radius at most $\pi$, and that equality is achieved
only for the radius 1 sphere. In this work we show how extra
topological assumptions can lead to stronger upper bounds. The
topologies we consider are
$\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{T}^{n-k-2}\times\mathbb{R}^k$ for
$n\leq 7$ and $0\leq k\leq 2$ and 3-manifolds with positive scalar
curvature except lens spaces $L(p,q)$ with $p$ odd. We also prove
a strengthened inequality for $3$-manifolds with positive scalar
curvature and large diameter. Our proof uses
previous results of Gromov and Zhu.
