Abstract: This paper is about positive scalar curvature on a compact manifold $X$ with non-empty boundary $partialX$. In some cases, we completely answer the question of when $X$ has a positive scalar curvature metric which is a product metric near $partialX$, or when $X$ has a positive scalar curvature metric with positive mean curvature on the boundary, and more generally, we study the relationship between boundary conditions on $partialX$ for positive scalar curvature metrics on $X$ and the positive scalar curvature problem for the double $M=operatornameDbl(X,partialX)$.
