In this paper, we bend a closed Riemannian manifold in the conformal class, through solving a fully nonlinear equation. As a result, we prove that each metric of quasi-negative Ricci curvature is conformal to a metric with negative Ricci…

We study the problem of conformally deforming a metric to a prescribed symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor. We prove an existence theorem for a wide class of symmetric functions on manifolds with positive Ricci…

We prove the existence of a smooth complete conformal metric with prescribed kth elementary symmetric function of negative Ricci curvature under certain condition on general domain in Euclidean space. We then formulate this problem for more…

In this paper we study the problem of conformally deforming a metric to a prescribed symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tensor on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We prove its solvability and the compactness of…

We present a conformal deformation involving a fully nonlinear equation in dimension 4, starting with positive scalar curvature. Assuming a certain conformal invariant is positive, one may deform from positive scalar curvature to a stronger…

We use certain Morse functions to construct conformal metrics such that the eigenvalue vector of modified Schouten tensor belongs to a given cone. As a result, we prove that any Riemannian metric on compact 3-manifolds with boundary is…

We consider deformations of metrics in a given conformal class such that the smallest eigenvalue of the Ricci tensor to be a constant. It is related to the notion of minimal volumes in comparison geometry. Such a metric with the smallest…

This paper investigates conformal deformations of the scalar curvature and mean curvature on complete Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of conformal deformations to complete metrics…

We descrive examples of metrics in the conformal class $[g]$ on complete conformally flat Riemannian manifolds $(M,g].$ These metrics have a constant scalar curvature and an harmonic curvature with non parallel Ricci tensor.

In this paper, we consider fully nonlinear equations of Krylov type on Riemannian manifolds with negative curvature which naturally arise in conformal geometry. Moreover, we prove the a priori estimates for solutions to these equations and…

We show that on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary there exists $u \in C^{\infty}(M)$ such that, $u_{|\partial M} \equiv 0$ and $u$ solves the $\sigma_k$-Ricci problem. In the case $k = n$ the metric has negative Ricci curvature.…

The prescribed Ricci curvature problem consists in finding a Riemannian metric $g$ on a manifold $M$ such that the Ricci curvature of $g$ equals a given $(0,2)$-tensor field $T$. We survey the recent progress on this problem in the case…

In this paper, we consider a fully nonlinear problem on manifolds with boundaries of negative admissible curvatures. As a consequence, we conclude the existence of certain types of metrics on the general differential manifolds with…

We investigate the prescribed Ricci curvature problem in the class of left-invariant naturally reductive Riemannian metrics on a non-compact simple Lie group. We obtain a number of conditions for the solvability of the underlying equations…

We give obstructions for a noncompact manifold to admit a complete Riemannian metric with (nonuniformly) positive scalar curvature. We treat both the finite volume and infinite volume cases.

In Riemannian geometry the prescribed Ricci curvature problem is as follows: given a smooth manifold $M$ and a symmetric 2-tensor $r$, construct a metric on $M$ whose Ricci tensor equals $r$. In particular, DeTurck and Koiso proved the…

This article is a survey of results involving conformal deformation of Riemannian metrics and fully nonlinear equations.

We use certain Morse functions to construct conformal metrics with negative sectional curvature on locally conformally flat manifolds with boundary. Moreover, without conformally flatness assumption, we also construct conformal metric of…

We consider the problem of finding complete conformal metrics with prescribed curvature functions of the Einstein tensor and of more general modified Schouten tensors. To achieve this, we reveal an algebraic structure of a wide class of…

Conditions, related to Kulkarni's equivalence problem are considered for indefinite Riemannian and Kaehlerian manifolds. Corresponding theorems are obtained for the values of the Ricci tensor on isotropic vectors as well as for the values…
