This paper establishes and extends a conjecture posed by M. Gromov which states that every riemannian metriconthat strictly dominates the standard metricmust have somewhere scalar curvature strictly less than that of. More generally, ifis any compact spin manifold of dimensionwhich admits a distance decreasing mapof non-zero degree, then either there is a pointwith normalized scalar curvature, oris isometric to. The distance decreasing hypothesis can be replaced by the weaker assumptionis contracting on-forms. In both cases, the results are sharp. An explicit counterexample is given to show that the result is no longer valid if one replaces 2-forms by-forms with.
