Let be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension . We show that the existence of a conformal metric with positive -curvature and positive scalar…
Bonnet-Myers type theorems for -curvature on four-manifolds
Xumin Jiang, Mingxiang Li, Zhehui Wang
Let be a complete four-dimensional Riemannian manifold. First, if the -curvature and scalar curvature for some positive constant , the…
A sharp isoperimetric inequality and the top order -curvature
Mingxiang Li, Xingwang Xu
For a smooth, complete and normal metric with finite total -th order -curvature on with dimension , we first show that everywhere…
Obstructions to prescribed Q-curvature of complete conformal metrics on
Mingxiang Li
We provide some obstructions to the prescribed Q-curvature problem for the complete conformal metrics on with finite total Q-curvature. One of them is a Bonnet-Mayer…
On positivity of the Q-curvatures of conformal metrics
Mingxiang Li, Xingwang Xu
We mainly show that for a conformal metric on with , if the higher order Q-curvature is positive and has slow d…
Conformal metrics with finite total Q-curvature revisited
Mingxiang Li
Given a conformal metric with finite total Q-curvature, we show that the assumptions on scalar curvature sensitively govern the Q-curvature integral. Additionally, we introduce a c…
