We study conformal metrics on R^{2m} with constant Q-curvature and finite volume. When m=3 we show that there exists V* such that for any V\in [V*,\infty) there is a conformal metric g on R^{6} with Q_g = Q-curvature of S^6, and vol(g)=V.…

We study the solutions $u\in C^\infty(R^{2m})$ of the problem $(-\Delta)^m u= Qe^{2mu}$, where $Q=\pm (2m-1)!$, and $V :=\int_{R^{2m}}e^{2mu}dx <\infty$, particularly when $m>1$. This corresponds to finding conformal metrics…

We study the polyharmonic problem $\Delta^m u = \pm e^u$ in ${\mathbb R}^{2m}$, with $m \geq 2$. In particular, we prove that {\sl for any} $V > 0$, there exist radial solutions of $\Delta^m u = -e^u$ such that $$\int_{{\mathbb R}^{2m}} e^u…

We mainly show that for a conformal metric $g=u^{\frac{4}{n-2m}}|dx|^2$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geq 2m+1$, if the higher order Q-curvature $Q^{(2m)}_g$ is positive and has slow decay barrier near infinity, the lower order Q-curvature…

We study conformal metrics on $R^3$, i.e., metrics of the form $g_u=e^{2u}|dx|^2$, which have constant $Q$-curvature and finite volume. This is equivalent to studying the non-local equation $$ (-\Delta)^\frac32 u = 2 e^{3u}$$ in $R^3$…

Given a smooth function $f(x)$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ which is positive somewhere and satisfies $f(x)=O(|x|^{-l})$ for any $l>\frac{n}{2}$, we show that there exists a complete and conformal metric $g=e^{2u}|dx|^2$ with finite total Q-curvature…

We consider the $Q$-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 $K$ is a given non constant continuous function. Under mild growth control on…

We consider the following prescribed $Q$-curvature problem \begin{equation}\label{uno} \begin{cases} \Delta^2 u=(1-|x|^p)e^{4u}, \quad\text{on}\,\,\mathbb{R}^4\\ \Lambda:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^4}(1-|x|^p)e^{4u}dx<\infty. \end{cases}…

We establish several nonuniqueness results for the problem of finding complete conformal metrics with constant (fourth-order) $Q$-curvature on compact and noncompact manifolds of dimension $\geq5$. Infinitely many branches of metrics with…

This is a continuation of our previous work (Advances in Mathematics 450 (2024), Paper No. 109768). In this paper, we characterize complete metrics with finite total Q-curvature as normal metrics for all dimensional cases. Secondly, we…

Given a compact and connected four dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g_0)$ with $k_P := \int_M Q_{g_0} dV_{g_0} <0$ and a smooth non-constant function $f_0$ with $\max_{p\in M}f_0(p)=0$, all of whose maximum points are…

Given a conformal metric with finite total Q-curvature, we show that the assumptions on scalar curvature sensitively govern the Q-curvature integral. Additionally, we introduce a conformal mass for such manifolds. Using such mass, we…

Let $k\ge1$ be a positive integer and let $P_g$ be the GJMS operator $P_{g}$ of order $2k$ on a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension $n>2k$. We investigate the compactness of the set of conformal metrics to $g$ with prescribed…

We describe the asymptotic behavior of conformal metrics related to the GJMS operator in the null case, as the prescribed Q-curvature $f_0(x) + \lambda$ gradually changes. We show that if one of the maximum points of $f_0$ is flat up to…

Let $(M,g_0)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 25$ with positive Yamabe invariant $Y(M,g_0)>0$ and positive fourth-order invariant $Y_4(M,g_0)>0$. We show that, arbitrarily $C^1$-close to $g_0$, there exists a Riemannian…
