In particular, we show volume comparison hold for small geodesic balls of metrics near $V$-static metrics. As for global results, we give volume comparison for metrics near Einstein metrics with certain restrictions. As an application, we recover a volume comparison result of compact hyperbolic manifolds due to Besson-Courtois-Gallot, which provides a partial answer to a conjecture of Schoen on volume of hyperbolic manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-28T10:12:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C20", "58J37", "53C23", "53C24" ], "keywords": [ "scalar curvature", "volume comparison hold", "volume comparison result", "compact hyperbolic manifolds", "small geodesic balls" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
