Abstract
We study the conformal metrics on with constant Q-curvature having finite volume, particularly in the case . We show that when such metrics exist in if and only if . Moreover we study their asymptotic behavior at infinity, in analogy with the case , which we treated in a recent paper. When Q=0, we show that such metrics have the form , where is a polynomial such that and . In dimension 4, such metrics are exactly the polynomials of degree 2 with .
