About "residual" scalar curvature in Einstein warped product manifold
I have an Einstein warped product manifold $M=B \times_f F$ with warped metric $g=g^B+f^2g^F$, where $F$ is Ricci flat, then its scalar curvature is $S^F=0$.
It is well known that the scalar curvature ...

Relation between Ricci curvature and sectional curvature for 3-manifolds
Let $(M^n,g)$ be a smooth Riemannian manifold. It is well known that if $sec(M)\geq \kappa$ then $Ric(M)\geq (n-1)\kappa$.
If I understand correctly in dimensions $n\geq 4$ a lower bound on $Ric(M)$ ...
