Abstract: Using $mu$-bubbles, we prove that for $3lenle7$, the connected sum of a Schoen-Yau-Schick $n$-manifold with an arbitrary manifold does not admit a complete metric of positive scalar curvature. When either $3lenle5$, $1lemlen-1$ or $6lenle7$, $min1,n-2,n-1$, we also show the connected sum $$ where $X$ is an arbitrary manifold does not admit a metric of positive $m$-intermediate curvature. Here $m$-intermediate curvature is a new notion of curvature introduced by Brendle, Hirsch and Johne interpolating between Ricci and scalar curvature.
