Boundary Regularity for Conformally Compact Einstein Metrics in Even Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
We study boundary regularity for conformally compact Einstein metrics in even dimensions by generalizing the ideas of Michael Anderson found in [And03] and [And06]. Our method of approach is to view the vanishing of the Ambient Obstruction tensor as an nth order system of equations for the components of a compactification of the given metric. This, together with boundary conditions that the compactification is shown to satisfy provide enough information to apply classical boundary regularity results. These results then provide local and global versions of finite boundary regularity for the components of the compactification.

On the Structure of Conformally Compact Einstein Metrics
LetM be an (n+1)-dimensional manifold with non-empty boundary, satisfying π1(M,∂M) = 0. The main result of this paper is that the space of conformally compact Einstein metrics on M is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold, provided it is non-empty. We also prove full boundary regularity for such metrics in dimension 4 and a local existence and uniqueness theorem for such metrics with p...
متن کاملSome Results on the Structure of Conformally Compact Einstein Metrics
The main result of this paper is that the space of conformally compact Einstein metrics on any given manifold is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold, provided it is non-empty, generalizing earlier work of Graham-Lee and Biquard. We also prove full boundary regularity for such metrics in dimension 4 and a local existence and uniqueness theorem for such metrics with prescribed metric a...
متن کاملA Renormalized Index Theorem for Some Complete Asymptotically Regular Metrics: the Gauss-bonnet Theorem
The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is studied for edge metrics as a renormalized index theorem. These metrics include the Poincaré-Einstein metrics of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Renormalization is used to make sense of the curvature integral and the dimensions of the L-cohomology spaces as well as to carry out the heat equation proof of the index theorem. For conformally compact metrics even mod x, the ...
متن کاملEinstein Metrics with Prescribed Conformal Infinity on 4-manifolds
This paper considers the existence of conformally compact Einstein metrics on 4manifolds. A reasonably complete understanding is obtained for the existence of such metrics with prescribed conformal infinity, when the conformal infinity is of positive scalar curvature. We find in particular that general solvability depends on the topology of the filling manifold. The obstruction to extending the...
متن کاملOn the Renormalized Volumes for Conformally Compact Einstein Manifolds
We study the renormalized volume of a conformally compact Einstein manifold. In even dimenions, we derive the analogue of the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula incorporating the renormalized volume. When the dimension is odd, we relate the renormalized volume to the conformal primitive of the Q-curvature. 0. Introduction Recently, there is a series of work ([GZ],[FG-2] and [FH]) exploring the connecti...
