Harmonic functions and comparsion geometry for noncompact 3-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature
Abstract
In this paper, we establish several sharp comparsion results for noncompact 3-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and with a compact, connected boundary under a boundary mean curvature condition. Then we apply these gradient estimates to establish a Cohn-Vossen type bound for the average of the scalar curvature. This generalizes the work of Colding-Minicozzi \cite{Cold4} and Oronzio \cite{Oro2}.
