Abstract

In this note we study the conformal metrics of constant QQ curvature on closed locally conformally flat manifolds. We prove that for a closed locally conformally flat manifold of dimension n5n\geq 5 and with Poincar\"{e} exponent less than n42\frac {n-4}2, the set of conformal metrics of positive constant QQ and positive scalar curvature is compact in the CC^\infty topology.
