We study singular metrics of constant negative $Q$-curvature in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ for every $n \geq 1$. Precisely, we consider solutions to the problem \[ (-\Delta)^{n/2}u=-e^{nu}\quad \text{on}\quad\mathbb{R}^{n}\backslash…

If S is a set of q+2 points in P^2(F_q) such that some point of S is not on any line containing two other points of S, then in suitable coordinates S has the form S_f:={(c:f(c):1) : c in F_q} U {(1:0:0),(0:1:0)} for some f(X) in F_q[X]. Let…
