Prescribing scalar curvatures: non compactness versus critical points at infinity

Differential Geometry 2020-01-28 v2

Abstract

We illustrate an example of a generic, positive function K on a Riemannian manifold to be conformally prescribed as the scalar curvature, for which the corresponding Yamabe type L2-gradient flow exhibits non compact flow lines, while a slight modification of it is compact.
