Deformation of the weighted scalar curvature (Q6063058)

The authors study deformations of the weighted scalar curvature. By studying the kernel of the formal \(L_{\phi}^2\)-adjoint for the linearization of the weighted scalar curvature, they prove several geometric results. They define weighted vacuum static spaces, and study locally conformally flat weighted vacuum static spaces. They also give some stability results for the weighted scalar curvature on flat spaces. The paper is well written, the results are original and the proofs are clear.
