Abstract: Let $(M,g^{TM})$ be a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$, and let $FsubseteqTM$ be an integrable subbundle of $TM$. Let $g^F=g^{TM}{|}_F$ be the restricted metric on $F$ and let $k^F$ be the associated leafwise scalar curvature. Let $f:Mo{S}^n(1)$ be a smooth area decreasing map along $F$, which is locally constant near infinity and of non-zero degree. We show that if $k^F>mrk(F)(mrk(F)-1)$ on the support of $mdf$, and either $TM$ or $F$ is spin, then $inf(k^F)<0$. As a consequence, we prove Gromov's sharp foliated $otime{s}_{v}arepsilon$-twisting conjecture. Using the same method, we also extend two famous non-existence results due to Gromov and Lawson about $Lambd{a}^2$-enlargeable metrics (and/or manifolds) to the foliated case.
