On a fourth order equation in 3-D

Xingwang Xu, Paul C. Yang (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this article we study the positivity of the 4-th order Paneitz operator for closed 3-manifolds. We prove that the connected sum of two such 3-manifold retains the same positivity property. We also solve the analogue of the Yamabe equation for such a manifold.

Spectral theory of invariant operators, sharp inequalities, and representation theory

Branson, Thomas

Similarity:

The paper represents the lectures given by the author at the 16th Winter School on Geometry and Physics, Srni, Czech Republic, January 13-20, 1996. He develops in an elegant manner the theory of conformal covariants and the theory of functional determinant which is canonically associated to an elliptic operator on a compact pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The presentation is excellently realized with a lot of details, examples and open problems.
