Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a two dimensional compact Riemannian manifold of genus g(M)>1g(M)>1. Let ff be a smooth function on MM such that f0,f≢0,minMf=0.f \ge 0, \quad f\not\equiv 0, \quad \min_M f = 0. Let p1,,pnp_1,\ldots,p_n be any set of points at which f(pi)=0f(p_i)=0 and D2f(pi)D^2f(p_i) is non-singular. We prove that for all sufficiently small λ>0\lambda>0 there exists a family of "bubbling" conformal metrics gλ=euλgg_\lambda=e^{u_\lambda}g such that their Gauss curvature is given by the sign-changing function Kgλ=f+λ2K_{g_\lambda}=-f+\lambda^2. Moreover, the family uλu_\lambda satisfies uλ(pj)=4logλ2log(12log1λ)+O(1)u_\lambda(p_j) = -4\log\lambda -2\log \left (\frac 1{\sqrt{2}} \log \frac 1\lambda \right ) +O(1) and λ2euλ8πi=1nδpi,\mboxasλ0,\lambda^2e^{u_\lambda}\rightharpoonup8\pi\sum_{i=1}^{n}\delta_{p_i},\quad \mbox{as }\lambda \to 0, where δp\delta_{p} designates Dirac mass at the point pp.
