In this paper we study the local behaviour of admissible metrics in the k-Yamabe problem on compact Riemannian manifolds $(M, g_0)$ of dimension $n\ge 3$. For $n/2 <k<n$, we prove a sharp Harnack inequality for admissible metrics when…

We prove existence of Yamabe metrics on singular manifolds with conical points and conical links of Einstein type that include orbifold structures. We deal with metrics of generic type and derive a counterpart of Aubin's classical result.…

We consider the Paneitz-type equation $\Delta^2 u -\alpha \Delta u +\beta (u-u^q ) =0$ on a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. We reduce the equation to a fourth-order ordinary differential equation assuming that $(M,g)$ admits a proper…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold with dimension n > 2. The Yamabe problem is to find a metric with constant scalar curvature in the conformal class of g, by minimizing the total scalar curvature. The proof was completed in 1984.…
