Abstract

We consider the QQ-curvature equation \begin{equation}\label{0.1} (-\Delta)^n u = K(x)e^{2nu}\quad\text{in} ~\mathbb{R}^{2n} \ (n \geq 2) \end{equation} where KK is a given non constant continuous function. Under mild growth control on KK, we get a necessary condition on the total curvature Λu\Lambda_u for any normal conformal metric gu=e2udx2g_u = e^{2u}|dx|^2 satisfying Qgu=KQ_{g_u} = K in R2n\mathbb{R}^{2n}, or equivalently, solutions to equation with logarithmic growth at infinity. Inversely, when KK is nonpositive satisfying polynomial growth control, we show the existence of normal conformal metrics with quasi optimal range of total curvature and precise asymptotic behavior at infinity. If furthermore KK is radial symmetric, we establish the same existence result without any growth assumption on KK.
