In this paper, we study scalar curvature rigidity of non-smooth metrics on smooth manifolds with non-positive Yamabe invariant. We prove that if the scalar curvature is not less than the Yamabe invariant in distributional sense, then the…

We prove that for cobordant closed spin manifolds of dimension $n\geq 3$ the associated spaces of metrics with invertible Dirac operator are homotopy equivalent. This is the spinorial counterpart of a similar result on positive scalar…

Our principal goal is to study the Prescribed Curvature Tensor problem in locally conformally flat manifolds. The solution to this problem is given explicitly for the special cases of the tensor R, including a case where the metric g is…

We give an introductory account of functional determinants of elliptic operators on manifolds and Polyakov-type formulas for their infinitesimal and finite conformal variations. We relate this to extremal problems and to the Q-curvature on…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of prescribing Chern scalar curvatures on compact Hermitian manifolds with negative Gauduchon degree. By studying the convergence of the associated geometric flow, we obtain some existence results…

We consider two cases of the asymptotically flat scalar-flat Yamabe problem on a non-compact manifold with boundary, in dimension $n\geq3$. First, following arguments of Cantor and Brill in the compact case, we show that given an…

We study the conformal logarithmic Laplacian on the sphere, an explicit singular integral operator that arises as the derivative (with respect to the order parameter) of the conformal fractional Laplacian at zero. Our analysis provides a…

We look at smooth manifolds equipped with a possibly singular Riemannian metric. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of scalar curvature measures and Dirac operators.

In 1992, motivated by Riemann mapping theorem, Escobar considered a version of Yamabe problem on manifolds of dimension n greater than 2 with boundary. The problem consists in finding a conformal metric such that the scalar curvature is…

Let $M$ be a quasi-Fuchsian three-manifold that contains a closed incompressible surface with principal curvatures within the range of the unit interval, for a prescribed function $H$ (with mild conditions) on $M$, we construct a closed…

We complete the theoretical framework required for the construction of a Morse homology theory for certain types of forced mean curvature flows. The main result of this paper describes the asymptotic behaviour of these flows as the forcing…

For a compact connected manifold M of dimension n greater than 3 and with no metric of positive scalar curvature, we prove that the Yamabe invariant is unchanged under surgery on spheres of dimension different from 1, n-2 and n-1. We use…

Given a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold $M$ of dimension three and positive CR Yamabe class, and a positive smooth function $K:M\to\mathbf{R}$ verifying some mild and generic hypotheses, we prove the compactness of the set of solutions of…

In this paper, we focus our study on the ends of a locally conformally flat complete manifold with finite total $Q$-curvature. We prove that for such a manifold, the integral of the $Q$-curvature equals an integral multiple of a dimensional…

We develop a universal distributional calculus for regulated volumes of metrics that are singular along hypersurfaces. When the hypersurface is a conformal infinity we give simple integrated distribution expressions for the divergences and…

In this paper, we investigate the prescribed curvature problem associated with a special Lin-Lu-Yau curvature on finite graphs of girth at least 6. We define the corresponding Calabi flow for this curvature type, and establish an equivalent…

We introduce a sequence of conformally invariant scalar curvature quantities, defined along the conformal infinity of a conformally compact (CC) manifold, that measure the failure of a CC metric to have constant negative scalar curvature in…

We discuss a general scheme for a construction of linear conformally invariant differential operators from curved Casimir operators; we then explicitly carry this out for several examples. Apart from demonstrating the efficacy of the…

We consider the $Q$-curvature equation \begin{equation}\label{0.1} (-\Delta)^n u = K(x)e^{2nu}\quad\text{in} ~\mathbb{R}^{2n} \ (n \geq 2) \end{equation} where $K$ is a given non constant continuous function. Under mild growth control on…

We introduce partial secondary invariants associated to complete Riemannian metrics which have uniformly positive scalar curvature outside a prescribed subset on a spin manifold. These can be used to distinguish such Riemannian metrics up…
