contents We prove the scalar curvature rigidity for $L^\infty$ metrics on $\mathbb S^n\backslashΣ$, where $\mathbb S^n$ is the $n$-dimensional sphere with $n\geq 3$ and $Σ$ is a closed subset of $\mathbb S^n$ of codimension at least $\frac{n}{2}+1$ that satisfies the wrapping property. The notion of wrapping property was introduced by the second author for studying related scalar curvature rigidity problems on spheres. For example, any closed subset of $\mathbb S^n$ contained in a hemisphere and any finite subset of $\mathbb S^n$ satisfy the wrapping property. The same techniques also apply to prove an analogous scalar rigidity result for $L^\infty$ metrics on tori that are smooth away from certain subsets of codimension at least $\frac{n}{2}+1$. As a corollary, we obtain a positive mass theorem for complete asymptotically flat spin manifolds with arbitrary ends for $L^\infty$ metrics.

We prove the scalar curvature rigidity for $L^\infty$ metrics on $\mathbb S^n\backslashΣ$, where $\mathbb S^n$ is the $n$-dimensional sphere with $n\geq 3$ and $Σ$ is a closed subset of $\mathbb S^n$ of codimension at least $\frac{n}{2}+1$ that satisfies the wrapping property. The notion of wrapping property was introduced by the second author for studying related scalar curvature rigidity problems on spheres. For example, any closed subset of $\mathbb S^n$ contained in a hemisphere and any finite subset of $\mathbb S^n$ satisfy the wrapping property. The same techniques also apply to prove an analogous scalar rigidity result for $L^\infty$ metrics on tori that are smooth away from certain subsets of codimension at least $\frac{n}{2}+1$.
