AbstractWe prove the macroscopic cousins of three conjectures: (1) a conjectural bound of the simplicial volume of a Riemannian manifold in the presence of a lower scalar curvature bound, (2) the conjecture that rationally essential manifolds do not admit metrics of positive scalar curvature, (3) a conjectural bound of $$\ell ^2$$ ℓ 2 -Betti numbers of aspherical Riemannian manifolds in the presence of a lower scalar curvature bound. The macroscopic cousin is the statement one obtains by replacing a lower scalar curvature bound by an upper bound on the volumes of 1-balls in the universal cover.

AbstractThis paper is devoted to the prescribed scalar curvature problem on 3 and 4- dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We give a new class of functionals which can be realized as scalar curvature. Our proof uses topological arguments and the tools of the theory of the critical points at infinity.
