We consider the Yamabe invariant of a compact orbifold with finitely many singular points. We prove a fundamental inequality for the estimate of the invariant from above, which also includes a criterion for the non-positivity of it.…
We establish Liouville type theorems in the whole space and in a half-space for parabolic problems without scale invariance. To this end, we employ two methods, respectively based on the corresponding elliptic Liouville type theorems and…
In the present paper we derive Liouville type results and existence of periodic solutions for $\chi^{(2)}$ type systems with non-homogeneous nonlinearities. Moreover, we prove both universal bounds as well as singularity and decay estimates…
The invariant theory for conformal hypersurfaces is studied by treating these as the conformal infinity of a conformally compact manifold: For a given conformal hypersurface embedding, a distinguished ambient metric is found (within its…
Conformal mapping has been applied mostly to harmonic functions, i.e. solutions of Laplace's equation. In this paper, it is noted that some other equations are also conformally invariant and thus equally well suited for conformal mapping in…
We consider a nonlinear version of the Yamabe problem on locally conformally flat compact manifolds with boundary. The main technique we used is to derive boundary $C^2$ estimates directly from boundary $C^0$ estimates. In particular, the…
We study the constraint equations for the Einstein-scalar field system on compact manifolds. Using the conformal method we reformulate these equations as a determined system of nonlinear partial differential equations. By introducing a new…
Nonlinear analysis has played a prominent role in the recent developments in geometry and topology. The study of the Yang-Mills equation and its cousins gave rise to the Donaldson invariants and more recently, the Seiberg-Witten invariants.…
In the first part of this thesis, we study the Yamabe problem with singularities, that we can announce as follow: Given a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, find a constant scalar curvature metric, conformal to $g$, when $g$ has not…
We define a relative Yamabe invariant of a smooth manifold with given conformal class on its boundary. In the case of empty boundary the invariant coincides with the classic Yamabe invariant. We develop approximation technique which leads…
We introduce a family of conformal invariants associated to a smooth metric measure space which generalize the relationship between the Yamabe constant and the best constant for the Sobolev inequality to the best constants for…
We consider a spinorial Yamabe-type problem on open manifolds of bounded geometry. The aim is to study the existence of solutions to the associated Euler-Lagrange-equation. We show that under suitable assumptions such a solution exists. As…
This work deals with the Entire solutions of a nonlinear equation. The first part of this paper is devoted to investigation of the Liouville property on compact manifolds, which extends a result by Castorina-Mantegazza [4] for positive f.…
A family of nonlinear partial differential equations of divergence form is considered. Each one is the Euler-Lagrange equation of a natural Riemaniann variational problem of geometric interest. New uniqueness results for the entire…
We continue our previous work studying critical exponent semilinear elliptic (and subelliptic) problems which generalize the classical Yamabe problem. In [3] the focus was on metric-measure spaces with an `almost smooth' structure, with…
In this paper, we study conformal invariants that arise from nodal sets and negative eigenvalues of conformally covariant operators; more specifically, the GJMS operators, which include the Yamabe and Paneitz operators. We give several…
In this paper we give both an historical and technical overview of the theory of Harnack inequalities for nonlinear parabolic equations in divergence form. We start reviewing the elliptic case with some of its variants and geometrical…
We develop a regularity theory for integro-differential equations with kernels deforming in space like sections of a convex solution of a Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation. We prove an ABP estimate and a Harnack inequality and derive H\"{o}lder and…
