Abstract

Given (M,g0)(M,g_0) a closed Riemannian manifold and a nonempty closed subset XX in MM, the singular σk\sigma_k-Yamabe problem asks for a complete metric gg on M\XM\backslash X conformal to g0g_0 with constant σk\sigma_k-curvature. The σk\sigma_k-curvature is defined as the kk-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tensor of a Riemannian metric. The main goal of this paper is to find solutions to the singular σ2\sigma_2-Yamabe problem with isolated singularities in any compact non-degenerate manifold such that the Weyl tensor vanishing to sufficiently high order at the singular point. We will use perturbation techniques and gluing methods.
