In this paper we introduce the p-Laplace equations for the intermediate Schouten curvature in conformal geometry. These p-Laplace equations provide more tools for the study of geometry and topology of manifolds. First, the positivity of the…

We discuss a large class of conformally invariant curvature energies for immersed hypersurfaces of dimension 4. The class under study includes various examples that have appeared in the recent literature and which arise from different…

The existence or non-existence of Einstein metrics on 4-manifolds with non-trivial fundamental group and the relation with the underlying differential structure are analyzed. For most points $(n,m)$ in a large region of the integer lattice,…

Conformal symmetry, emerging at critical points, can be lost when renormalization group fixed points collide. Recently, it was proposed that after collisions, real fixed points transition into the complex plane, becoming complex fixed…

Consider a manifold with boundary, and such that the interior is equipped with a pseudo-Riemannian metric. We prove that, under mild asymptotic non-vanishing conditions on the scalar curvature, if the Levi-Civita connection of the interior…

In this paper, we first give a necessary and sufficient condition for the boundedness and the compactness for a class of nonlinear functionals in $H^{2}(\mathbb{R}^4)$. Using this result and the principle of symmetric criticality, we can…

In this paper we prove some rigidity theorems associated to $Q$-curvature analysis on asymptotically Euclidean (AE) manifolds, which are inspired by the analysis of conservation principles within fourth order gravitational theories. A…

The critical behaviour of semi-infinite $d$-dimensional systems with short-range interactions and an O(n) invariant Hamiltonian is investigated at an $m$-axial Lifshitz point with an isotropic wave-vector instability in an $m$-dimensional…

We derive local asymptotics of solutions to second order elliptic equations at the edge of a $(N-1)$-dimensional crack, with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions prescribed on both sides of the crack. A combination of blow-up analysis…

It has been observed by Maldacena that one can extract asymptotically anti-de Sitter Einstein $4$-metrics from Bach-flat spacetimes by imposing simple principles and data choices. We cast this problem in a conformally compact Riemannian…

We give a general survey of the solution of the Einstein constraints by the conformal method on n dimensional compact manifolds. We prove some new results about solutions with low regularity (solutions in $H_{2}$ when n=3), and solutions…

We first establish local $C^2$ estimates of solutions to the $\sigma_2$-curvature equation with nonlinear Neumann boundary condition. Then, under assumption that the mean curvature of a background metric is nonnegative on totally…

We consider the Einstein equation with first order (semiclassical) quantum corrections. Although the quantum corrections contain up to fourth order derivatives of the metric, the solutions which are physically relevant satisfy a reduced…

We study the phase-ordering kinetics following a temperature quench of O(N) continuous symmetry models with and 4 on graphs. By means of extensive simulations, we show that the global pattern of scaling behaviours is analogous to the one…

We carry out the asymptotic analysis as $n \to \infty$ of a class of orthogonal polynomials $p_{n}(z)$ of degree $n$, defined with respect to the planar measure \begin{equation*} d\mu(z) = (1-|z|^{2})^{\alpha-1}|z-x|^{\gamma}\mathbf{1}_{|z|…

We study Hermitian metrics with constant second scalar curvature on compact manifolds. We first consider a Yamabe-type problem for the second Bismut scalar curvature under a natural topological condition, and then analyze elliptic equations…

This paper is devoted to the study of degenerate critical elliptic equations of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type. By means of blow-up analysis techniques, we prove an a-priori estimate in a weighted space of continuous functions. From this…

In this paper, we establish the existence of conformal deformations that uniformize fourth order curvature on 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with positive conformal invariants. Specifically, we prove that any closed, compact Riemannian…

Gravitational waves with a space-translation Killing field are considered. In this case, the 4-dimensional Einstein vacuum equations are equivalent to the 3-dimensional Einstein equations with certain matter sources. This interplay between…

We study pseudo-Riemannian Einstein manifolds which are conformally equivalent with a metric product of two pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Particularly interesting is the case where one of these manifolds is 1-dimensional and the case where…
