Curvature estimates in asymptotically flat manifolds of positive scalar curvature (Q1811413)

The authors consider an asymptotically flat Riemannian spin manifold \(M\). They derive an estimate for the \(L^2\)-norm of the curvature tensor on the complement of a compact set in terms of an expression which depends on the \(L^2\)-norm of the covariant derivative of the curvature tensor containing the square root of the total mass of \(M\) as a factor. The proof is by standard integration by parts. No applications are given.
