On the Paneitz energy on standard three sphere

Similarity:

We prove that the Paneitz energy on the standard three-sphere S 3 is bounded from below and extremal metrics must be conformally equivalent to the standard metric.

The evolution of the scalar curvature of a surface to a prescribed function

Similarity:

We investigate the gradient flow associated to the prescribed scalar curvature problem on compact riemannian surfaces. We prove the global existence and the convergence at infinity of this flow under sufficient conditions on the prescribed function, which we suppose just continuous. In particular, this gives a uniform approach to solve the prescribed scalar curvature problem for general compact surfaces.
