Constant Q-curvature metrics near the Hyperbolic metric

Differential Geometry 2012-10-16 v2

Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,\,g) be a Poincareˊ\acute{\text{e}}-Einstein manifold with a smooth defining function. In this note, we prove that there are infinitely many asymptotically hyperbolic metrics with constant QQ-curvature in the conformal class of an asymptotically hyperbolic metric close enough to gg. These metrics are parametrized by the elements in the kernel of the linearized operator of the prescribed constant QQ-curvature equation. A similar analysis is applied to a class of fourth order equations arising in spectral theory.
