On a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^n ,g)$, we consider the Yamabe-type equation $-\Delta_g u + \lambda u = \lambda |u|^{q-1}u$, where $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}_{+}$ and $q>1$. We assume that $M$ admits a proper isoparametric function $f$…

We give several characterizations of parabolic (quasisuper)- minimizers in a metric measure space equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincar\'e inequality. We also prove a version of comparison principle for super- and…
In this paper we investigate the structure of certain solutions of the fully nonlinear Yamabe flow, which we call quotient almost Yamabe solitons because they extend quite naturally those called quotient Yamabe solitons. We then present…
The goal of this paper is to study Yamabe flow on a complete Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry with possibly infinite volume. In the case of infinite volume, standard volume normalization of the Yamabe flow fails and the flow may not…
In this paper we introduce the following Yamabe problem for the quotient between the $Q$ curvature and the scalar curvature $R$: Find a conformal metric $g$ in a given conformal class $[g_0]$ with \[ Q_g/R_g=const. \] When the dimension…
Following Cao-Hamilton-Ilmanen, in this paper we study the linear stability of Perelman's $\nu$-entropy on Einstein manifolds with positive Ricci curvature. We observe the equivalence between the linear stability restricted to the…
Let M be a compact manifold equipped with a Riemannian metric g and a spin structure \si. We let $\lambda (M,[g],\si)= \inf_{\tilde{g} \in [g]} \lambda_1^+(\tilde{g}) Vol(M,\tilde{g})^{1/n}$ where $\lambda_1^+(\tilde{g})$ is the smallest…
We study the quasi-linear minimization problem on $H^1_0(\Omega)\subset L^q$ with $q=\frac{2n}{n-2}$~: $$\inf_{\|u\|_{L^q}=1}\int_\Omega (1+|x|^\beta |u|^k)|\nabla u|^2.$$ We show that minimizers exist only in the range $\beta<kn/q$ which…
The problem of quantization of measures looks for best approximations of probability measures on a metric space by discrete measures supported on $N$ points, where the error of approximation is measured with respect to the Wasserstein…
The Yamabe Invariant of a smooth compact manifold is by definition the supremum of the scalar curvatures of unit-volume Yamabe metrics on the manifold. For an explicit infinite class of 4-manifolds, we show that this invariant is positive…
We consider the weighted parabolic problem of the type \begin{equation*} \begin{split} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} u_t-\mathrm{div}(\omega_2(x)|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u )= \lambda \omega_1(x) |u|^{p-2}u,& x\in\Omega, u(x,0)=f(x),& x\in\Omega,…
We investigate Sobolev and Hardy inequalities, specifically weighted Minerbe's type estimates, in noncompact complete connected Riemannian manifolds whose geometry is described by an isoperimetric profile. In particular, we assume that the…
It is shown that if a minimal ruled surface admits a K\"ahler Yamabe minimizer, then this metric must be generalized K\"ahler-Einstein and the underlying holomorphic vector bundle of the ruled surface must be quasi-stable.
In this paper, we study the uniqueness of type II Yamabe metrics in conformal classes on a compact connected manifold with boundary, and we investigate Obata-type theorems for type II Yamabe metrics. In particular, we establish a theorem…
We prove that the problem of constructing biharmonic conformal maps on a $4$-dimensional Einstein manifold reduces to a Yamabe-type equation. This allows us to construct an infinite family of examples on the Euclidean 4-sphere. In addition,…
For a compact manifold $M$ of $\dim M =n\geq 4$, we study two conformal invariants of a conformal class $C$ on $M$. These are the Yamabe constant $Y_C(M)$ and the $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$-norm $W_C(M)$ of the Weyl curvature. We prove that for any…
