Characterization of the Palais-Smale sequences for the conformal Dirac-Einstein problem and applications

Abstract

In this paper we study the Palais-Smale sequences of the conformal Dirac-Einstein problem. After we characterize the bubbling phenomena, we prove an Aubin type result leading to the existence of a positive solution. Then we show the existence of infinitely many solutions to the problem provided that the underlying manifold exhibits certain symmetries.
