Abstract

We consider the problem of finding on a given Euclidean domain Ω\Omega of dimension n3n \geq 3 a complete conformally flat metric whose Schouten curvature AA satisfies some equation of the form f(λ(A))=1f(\lambda(-A)) = 1. This generalizes a problem considered by Loewner and Nirenberg for the scalar curvature. We prove the existence and uniqueness of such metric when the boundary Ω\partial\Omega is a smooth bounded hypersurface (of codimension one). When Ω\partial\Omega contains a compact smooth submanifold Σ\Sigma of higher codimension with ΩΣ\partial\Omega\setminus\Sigma being compact, we also give a `sharp' condition for the divergence to infinity of the conformal factor near Σ\Sigma in terms of the codimension.
