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 extend this construction for
(p,n)-intermediate scalar curvature for 0≤p≤n−2 for surgeries in codimension at least
p + 3. We then use it to generalize a well known theorem of Carr. Letting Rsp,n>0(M)
denote the space of positive (p,n)-intermediate scalar curvature metrics on an n-manifold
M, we show for 0≤p≤2n−3 and n ≥ 2, that for a closed, spin, (4n − 1)-manifold M
admitting a metric of positive (p, 4n − 1)-intermediate scalar curvature, Rsp,4n−1>0(M) has
infinitely many path components.
