Title Deformations of scalar-flat anti-self-dual metrics and quotients of Enriques surfaces
Author Mustafa Kalafat
Abstract
In this article, we prove that a quotient of a K3 surface by a free action does not admit any metric of positive scalar curvature. This shows that the scalar flat anti self-dual metrics (SF-ASD) on this manifold can not be obtained from a family of metrics for which the scalar curvature changes sign, contrary to the previously known constructions of this kind of metrics on manifolds of b+=0.
