Prescribing, by conformal transformation, the kth-elementary symmetric polynomial of the Schouten tensor $P$ to be constant is a generalisation of the Yamabe problem. On compact Riemannian n-manifolds we show that, for k between and…

We solve the problem of prescribing different types of curvatures (principal, mean or Gaussian) on rotational surfaces in terms of arbitrary continuous functions depending on the distance from the surface to the axis of revolution. In this…

Using the flow method, we prove some existence results for the problem of prescribing the mean curvature on the unit ball. More precisely, we prove that there exists a conformal metric on the unit ball such that its mean curvature is $f$,…
