AbstractWe show that a Riemannian 3‐manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature is flat if it contains an area‐minimizing cylinder. This scalar‐curvature analogue of the classical splitting theorem of J. Cheeger and D. Gromoll (1971) was conjectured by D. Fischer‐Colbrie and R. Schoen (1980) and by M. Cai and G. Galloway (2000). © 2018 the Authors. Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics is published by the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
