Q‐Curvature on a Class of Manifolds with Dimension at Least 5

Abstract: Abstract. For a smooth compact Riemannian manifold with positive Yamabe invariant, positive Q curvature and dimension at least 5, we prove the existence of a conformal metric with constant Q curvature. Our approach is based on the study of extremal problem for a new functional involving the Paneitz operator.

“…One key ingredient in such works is that a strong maximum principle for the fourth order Paneitz-Branson operator is discovered under a hypothesis on the positivity of some conformal invariants or Q-curvature of the background metric. The readers are referred to [8,9,10,13] and the references therein. This naturally stimulates us to study GJMS operator of order six and its associated Q-curvature problem, the analogue to the Yamabe problem and Q-curvature problem for Paneitz-Branson operator.…”

“…In section 2, the expansions of Green's function for P g when n ≥ 7 are presented under conformal normal coordinates around a point. The technique used here is basically inspired by Lee-Parker [12], see also [10]. The complicate computations of the term P g (r 6−n ) are left to Appendix A, where r is the geodesic distant from this point.…”

“…Compare our proof with Hang-Yang [29] where the authors introduced an equivalent maximizing problem involving an integral operator to solve a fourth-order elliptic differential equation. However, even though the basic idea is similar to ours, the motivation is completely different.…”

“…However, even though the basic idea is similar to ours, the motivation is completely different. In our situation, the technique was introduced to provide a suitable function space to work with and control the boundary behavior of solutions, but the authors in [29] utilized it to guarantee positivity of solutions.…”
