We study the existence of non-zero positive solutions of a class of systems of differential equations driven by fractional powers of the Laplacian. Our approach is based on the notion of fixed point index, and allows us to deal with…

We prove an isoperimetric inequality for the second non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the real projective plane. For a metric of the unit area this eigenvalue is not greater than 20\pi. This value is attained in the…

For a complete Riemannian metric, a pointwise conformal transformation may lead to a complete or incomplete transformed Riemannian metric, depending on the behavior of the conformal factor. We establish conditions on the growth of the…

We obtain a volume growth and curvature decay result for various classes of complete, noncompact Riemannian metrics in dimension 4; in particular our method applies to anti-self-dual or Kahler metrics with zero scalar curvature, and metrics…
