Prescribing Morse scalar curvatures: blow-up analysis

Analysis of PDEs 2020-01-27 v2

Abstract

We study finite-energy blow-ups for prescribed Morse scalar curvatures in both the subcritical and the critical regime. After general considerations on Palais-Smale sequences we determine precise blow up rates for subcritical solutions: in particular the possibility of tower bubbles is excluded in all dimensions. In subsequent papers we aim to establish the sharpness of this result, proving a converse existence statement, together with a one to one correspondence of blowing-up subcritical solutions and {\em critical points at infinity}. This analysis will be then applied to deduce new existence results for the geometric problem.
