چکیده
We discuss the problem of prescribing the mean curvature and conformal class as boundary data for Einstein metrics on 3-manifolds, in the context of natural elliptic boundary value problems for Riemannian metrics.

On Boundary Value Problems for Einstein Metrics
On any given compact manifold M with boundary ∂M , it is proved that the moduli space E of Einstein metrics on M , if non-empty, is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold, at least when π1(M,∂M) = 0. Thus, the Einstein moduli space is unobstructed. The usual Dirichlet and Neumann boundary maps to data on ∂M are smooth, but not Fredholm. Instead, one has natural mixed boundary-value prob...
متن کاملBoundary Value Problems for Einstein Metrics, I
On any given compact manifold M with boundary ∂M , it is proved that the moduli space E of Einstein metrics on M is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold. The Dirichlet and Neumann boundary maps to data on ∂M are smooth Fredholm maps of index 0. These results also hold for manifolds with compact boundary which have a finite number of locally asymtotically flat ends, as well as for the ...
متن کاملConstant Scalar Curvature Metrics on Boundary Complexes of Cyclic Polytopes
In this paper we give examples of constant scalar curvature metrics on piecewise-flat triangulated 3-manifolds. These types of metrics are possible candidates for “best” metrics on triangulated 3-manifolds. In the pentachoron, the triangulation formed by the simplicial boundary of the 4-simplex, we find that its stucture is completely deterimed with a vertex transitive metric. Further this metr...
متن کاملCONFORMAL METRICS WITH PRESCRIBED CURVATURE FUNCTIONS ON MANIFOLDS WITH BOUNDARY By BO GUAN Dedicated to Professor Joel Spruck on the occasion of his 60th birthday
We study the Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations related to conformal deformations of metrics on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. As a consequence we prove the existence of a conformal metric, given its value on the boundary as a prescribed metric conformal to the (induced) background metric, with a prescribed curvature function of the Schouten tensor.
متن کاملConformal Deformation on Manifolds with Boundary
We consider natural conformal invariants arising from the Gauss-Bonnet formulas on manifolds with boundary, and study conformal deformation problems associated to them. The purpose of this paper is to study conformal deformation problems associated to conformal invariants on manifolds with boundary. From analysis point of view, the problem becomes a non-Dirichlet boundary value problems for ful...
