Abstract: Let $$ be a noncompact complete spin Riemannian manifold of even dimension $n$, with $k^{TM}$ denote the associated scalar curvature. Let $fcolonMightarrow{S}^n(1)$ be a smooth area decreasing map, which is locally constant near infinity and of nonzero degree. We show that if $k^{TM}geqn(n-1)$ on the support of $mdf$, then $$. This answers a question of Gromov. We use a simple deformation of the Dirac operator to prove the result. The odd dimensional analogue is also presented.
