We study critical metrics of higher-order curvature functionals on compact Riemannian $n$-manifolds $(M,g)$. For an integer $k$ with $2 \leq 2k \leq n$, let $R^k$ denote the $k$-th exterior power of the Riemann curvature tensor. We…

We study critical and stationary, i.e. critical with respect to both inner and outer variations, points of polyconvex functionals of the form $f(X) = g(\det(X))$, for $X \in \mathbb{R}^{2\times 2}$. In particular, we show that critical…

We analyse a blow-up sequence of solutions for Liouville type equations involving Dirac measures with "collapsing" poles. We consider the case where blow-up occurs exactly at a point where the poles coalesce. After proving that a…

Given a manifold $M$, some closed $\beta\in\Omega^1(M)$ and a map $f\in C^\infty(M)$, a $\beta$-critical point is some $x\in M$ such that $d_\beta f_{x}=0$ for the Lichnerowicz derivative $d_\beta$. In this paper, we will give a lower bound…
