Nonlinear elliptic equations involving critical Sobolev exponent on compact Riemannian manifolds in presence of symmetries.

Similarity:

In this paper, we study a nonlinear elliptic equation with critical exponent, invariant under the action of a subgroup G of the isometry group of a compact Riemannian manifold. We obtain some existence results of positive solutions of this equation, and under some assumptions on G, we show that we can solve this equation for supercritical exponents.

Non-negative curvature obstructions in cohomogeneity one and the Kervaire spheres

Similarity:

In contrast to the homogeneous case, we show that there are compact cohomogeneity one manifolds that do not support invariant metrics of non-negative sectional curvature. In fact we exhibit infinite families of such manifolds including the exotic Kervaire spheres. Such examples exist for any codimension of the singular orbits except for the case when both are equal to two, where existence of non-negatively curved metrics is known.
