Abstract: In this paper we consider a well-known construction due to Gromov and Lawson, Schoen and Yau, Gajer, and Walsh which allows for the extension of a metric of positive scalar curvature over the trace of a surgery in codimension at least 3 to a metric of positive scalar curvature which is a product near the boundary. We generalize this construction to work for (p,n)-intermediate scalar curvature for 0leqpleqn2 for surgeries in codimension at least p+3. We then use it to generalize a well known theorem of Carr. Letting calRsp,n>0(M) denote the space of positive (p,n)-intermediate scalar curvature metrics on an n-manifold M, we show for 0leqpleq2n3 and ngeq2, that for a closed, spin, (4n1)-manifold M admitting a metric of positive (p,4n1)-intermediate scalar curvature, calRsp,4n1>0(M) has infinitely many path components.
