Compactness for Conformal Metrics with Constant Q Curvature on Locally Conformally Flat Manifolds
In this note we study the conformal metrics of constant Q curvature on closed locally conformally flat manifolds. We prove that for a closed locally conformally flat manifold of dimension n ≥ 5 and with Poincarë exponent less than n−4 2 , the set of conformal metrics of positive constant Q and positive scalar curvature is compact in the C∞ topology.
متن کاملOn Positive Solutions to Semi-linear Conformally Invariant Equations on Locally Conformally Flat Manifolds
In this paper we study the existence and compactness of positive solutions to a family of conformally invariant equations on closed locally conformally flat manifolds. The family of conformally covariant operators Pα were introduced via the scattering theory for Poincaré metrics associated with a conformal manifold (Mn, [g]). We prove that, on a closed and locally conformally flat manifold with...
متن کاملA Fully Nonlinear Conformal Flow on Locally Conformally Flat Manifolds
We study a fully nonlinear flow for conformal metrics. The long-time existence and the sequential convergence of flow are established for locally conformally flat manifolds. As an application, we solve the σk-Yamabe problem for locally conformal flat manifolds when k 6= n/2.
متن کاملThe Effect of Linear Perturbations on the Yamabe Problem
In conformal geometry, the Compactness Conjecture asserts that the set of Yamabe metrics on a smooth, compact, aspherical Riemannian manifold (M, g) is compact. Established in the locally conformally flat case by Schoen [43, 44] and for n ≤ 24 by Khuri– Marques–Schoen [26], it has revealed to be generally false for n ≥ 25 as shown by Brendle [8] and Brendle–Marques [9]. A stronger version of it...
متن کاملSome Progress in Conformal Geometry
In this paper we describe our current research in the theory of partial differential equations in conformal geometry. We introduce a bubble tree structure to study the degeneration of a class of Yamabe metrics on Bach flat manifolds satisfying some global conformal bounds on compact manifolds of dimension 4. As applications, we establish a gap theorem, a finiteness theorem for diffeomorphism ty...
