We consider the case with boundary of the classical Kazdan-Warner problem in dimension greater or equal than three, i.e. the prescription of scalar and boundary mean curvatures via conformal deformations of the metric. We deal in particular…
We derive Kazdan-Warner type identities for the boundary problem of prescribing nonconstant interior $Q$ curvature and boundary $T$ curvature on the upper hemisphere $\mathbb{S}^4_+$ by a conformal change of the standard metric. Using the…
We prove a Pohozaev type identity for non-linear eigenvalue equations of the Dirac operator on Riemannian spin manifolds with boundary. As an application, we obtain that the mean curvature H of a conformal immersion S^{n}-> R^{n+1}…
In this paper we first discuss how a Noether current corresponding to a gauge or a global symmetry can locally be introduced in a path integral irrespective of the boundary conditions defining the theory. We then consider quantization of…
The aim of this paper is to present a version of the generalized Pohozaev-Schoen identity in the context of asymptotically euclidean manifolds. Since these kind of geometric identities have proven to be a very powerful tool when analysing…
In this paper we address two boundary cases of the classical Kazdan-Warner problem. More precisely, we consider the problem of prescribing the Gaussian and boundary geodesic curvature on a disk of R^2, and the scalar and mean curvature on a…
In this article, we first show that for all compact Riemannian manifolds with non-empty smooth boundary and dimension at least 3, there exists a metric, pointwise conformal to the original metric, with constant scalar curvature in the…
We introduce a local vector field on an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold, defined as the sum of the covariant derivatives of a local orthonormal frame, and derive an explicit identity for its divergence, decomposed into a scalar…
We reexamine the Israel-type proof of the uniqueness theorem of the static spacetime outside the photon surface in the Einstein-conformal scalar system. We derive in a systematic fashion a new divergence identity which plays a key role in…
We consider the problem of finding on a given Euclidean domain $\Omega$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ a complete conformally flat metric whose Schouten curvature $A$ satisfies some equation of the form $f(\lambda(-A)) = 1$. This generalizes a…
We argue that conformal invariance is a common thread linking several scalar effective field theories that appear in the double copy and scattering equations. For a derivatively coupled scalar with a quartic ${\cal O}(p^4)$ vertex,…
In this paper, we consider the problem of prescribing the scalar curvature under minimal boundary conditions on the standard four dimensional half sphere. We provide an Euler-Hopf type criterion for a given function to be a scalar curvature…
In this paper we study the problem, posed by Troyanov, of prescribing the Gaussian curvature under a conformal change of the metric on surfaces with conical singularities. Such geometrical problem can be reduced to the solvability of a…
We derive generalizations of McShane's identity for higher ranked surface group representations by studying a family of mapping class group invariant functions introduced by Goncharov and Shen which generalize the notion of horocycle…
After R.~Schoen completed the solution to the Yamabe problem, compact manifolds could be categorized into three classes, depending on whether they admit a metric with positive, non-negative, or only negative scalar curvature. Here we follow…
We solve the modified Kazdan-Warner problem of finding metrics with prescribed scalar curvature and unit total volume.
In this work, we study the super-Liouville equation on the sphere with positive coefficient functions. We first examine the behavior of the equation under conformal transformations and derive a Pohozaev-type identity, which generalizes the…
In this work, we are interested in studying Serrin's overdetermined problems in Riemannian manifolds. For manifolds endowed with a conformal vector field, we prove a Pohozoaev-type identity to show a Serrin's type rigidity result using the…
We prove in this article that the local image of each conformal $Q$-curvature operator of arbitrary order on the sphere admits no scalar constraint. However, we prove that identities of Kazdan--Warner type hold for its graph.
We show that any nonlinear field theory giving rise to static solutions with finite energy like, e.g., topological solitons, allows us to derive an infinite number of integral identities which any such solution has to obey. These integral…
