It is well known that if two metrics $g_0$, $g_1$ of positive scalar curvature on a closed compact manifold $M$ are psc-isotopic, then they are psc-concordant: i.e., there exists a metric $\\bar{g}$ of positive scalar curvature on the cylinder $M\\times I$ which extends the metrics $g_0$ on $M\\times {0}$ and $g_1$ on $M\\times {1}$ and is a product metric near the boundary. The main result of the paper is that if psc-metrics $g_0$, $g_1$ on $M$ "},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1211.4879","kind":"arxiv","version":4},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
