abstract

We prove a sharp spectral generalization of the Cheeger--Gromoll splitting theorem. We show that if a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n\geq 2$ has at least two ends and \[ \lambda_1(-\gamma\Delta+\mathrm{Ric})\geq 0, \] for some $\gamma<\frac{4}{n-1}$, then $M$ splits isometrically as $\mathbb R\times N$ for some compact manifold $N$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature. We show that the constant $\frac{4}{n-1}$ is sharp, and the multiple-end assumption is necessary for any $\gamma>0$.

  1. Bottom spectrum and parabolicity of 3-manifolds with scalar curvature lower bound

    math.DG 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Complete 3-manifolds with scalar curvature lower bound, finitely many ends, and finite first Betti number satisfy a sharp bottom spectrum upper bound and are parabolic under positive scalar curvature.

  2. Some rigidity theorems for spectral curvature bounds

    math.DG 2026-04 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    Spectral lower bounds on scalar/Ricci curvature imply the same rigidity, band-width, and splitting conclusions as classical pointwise bounds, via warped µ-bubbles.
