Quantization for Palais-Smale sequences of the Liouville functional on closed surfaces
Andrea Malchiodi, Francesco Malizia, Luca Martinazzi
In this paper we prove a quantization property for Palais-Smale sequences of functionals related to Liouville equations on compact surfaces. While these equations have been extensi…
Decreasing Weyl's energy by connected sums with locally conformally flat manifolds
Andrea Malchiodi, Francesco Malizia
We study the Weyl functional on connected sums of two four-dimensional manifolds and , assuming is Bach-flat and locally conformally flat. We show th…
Min-max theory and Yamabe metrics on conical four-manifolds
Mattia Freguglia, Andrea Malchiodi, Francesco Malizia
We prove existence of Yamabe metrics on four-manifolds possessing finitely-many conical points with -group, using for the first time a min-max scheme in the singular…
Weyl energy and connected sums of four-manifolds
Andrea Malchiodi, Francesco Malizia
Given two closed, oriented Riemannian four-manifolds and , which are not locally conformally flat and not both self-dual or both anti-self-dual, we prove that th…
Yamabe metrics on conical manifolds
Mattia Freguglia, Andrea Malchiodi
We prove existence of Yamabe metrics on singular manifolds with conical points and conical links of Einstein type that include orbifold structures. We deal with metrics of generic…
