This paper is concerned with the taxonomy of finitely complete categories, based on 'matrix properties' - these are a particular type of exactness properties that can be represented by integer matrices. In particular, the main result of the…

An important problem is to determine under which circumstances a metric on a conformally compact manifold is conformal to a Poincar\'e--Einstein metric. Such conformal rescalings are in general obstructed by conformal invariants of the…

We show that if a compact connected $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ has a conformal class containing two non-homothetic metrics $g$ and $\tilde g=e^{2\varphi}g$ with non-generic holonomy, then after passing to a finite covering, either $n=4$…
