Key Points

  • Static manifolds exhibit a local surjection of scalar curvature in their interiors and mean curvature at their boundaries.
  • In non-generic domains, this geometric configuration serves as a crucial boundary condition for metrics.
  • Analysis of compact subdomains within Riemannian manifolds reveals insights into their structural properties and classifications of non-generic configurations. The study connects rigidity theorems to simple non-generic domains, particularly in space forms and the Schwarzschild manifold, highlighting a unique relationship with the photon sphere.

Abstract

On a compact manifold with boundary, the map consisting of the scalar curvature in the interior and the mean curvature on the boundary is a local surjection at generic metrics. Moreover, this result may be localized to compact subdomains in an arbitrary Riemannian manifold with boundary. The non-generic case (also called non-generic domains) corresponds to static manifolds with boundary. We discuss their geometric properties, which also work as the necessary conditions of non-generic metrics. In space forms and the Schwarzschild manifold, we classify simple non-generic domains (with only one boundary component) and show their connection with rigidity theorems and the Schwarzschild photon sphere.
