method Investigates infinitesimal conformal deformations of triangulated surfaces in Euclidean space.
result There is a one-to-one correspondence between infinitesimal conformal deformations and infinitesimal isometric deformations of the stereographic image on the sphere.
We extend to the conformal realm the concept of genuine deformations of submanifolds, introduced by Dajczer and the first author for the isometric case. Analogously to that case, we call a conformal deformation of a submanifold Mn genuine if no open subset of Mn can be included as a submanifold of a higher dimens…
We discuss conformal deformation and warped products on some open manifolds. We discuss how these can be applied to construct Riemannian metrics with specific scalar curvature functions.
We address the problem of second order conformal deformation of spacelike surfaces in compactified Minkowski 4-space. We explain the construction of the exterior differential system of conformal deformations and discuss its general and singular solutions. In particular, we show that isothermic surfaces are singular sol…
We consider natural conformal invariants arising from the Gauss-Bonnet formulas on manifolds with boundary, and study conformal deformation problems associated to them. The key technique we used is to derive boundary C^2 estimates directly from C^0 estimates for fully nonlinear equations. The main result has appeared i…

In this paper we expose on the dual 1-jet space J^{1*}(R,M^4) the distinguished (d-) Riemannian geometry (in the sense of d-connection, d-torsions, d-curvatures and some gravitational-like and electromagnetic-like geometrical models) for the (t,x)-conformal deformed Berwald-Moor Hamiltonian metric of order four.
The aim of this paper is to develop on the 1-jet space J^1(R, M^n) the Finsler-like geometry (in the sense of distinguished (d-) connection, d-torsions, d-curvatures and some gravitational-like and electromagnetic-like geometrical models) attached to the (t,x)-conformal deformation of the Berwald-Moor metric.

We consider the problem of conformally deforming a metric to one with a prescribed symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor, in the case of negative curvature.
In this article, we found a connection between Brown-York mass and the first Dirichlet Eigenvalue of a Schrödingier type operator. In particular, we proved a local positive mass type theorem for metrics conformal to the background one with suitable presumptions. As applications, we investigated compactly conformal defo…
In this paper, we investigate the prescribed scalar curvature problem on a non-compact Riemannian manifold (M,⟨,⟩), namely the existence of a conformal deformation of the metric ⟨,⟩ realizing a given function s(x) as its scalar curvature. In particular, the work…
On pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of even dimension n≥4, with everywhere vanishing (Fefferman-Graham) obstruction tensor, we construct a complex of conformally invariant differential operators. The complex controls the infinitesimal deformations of obstruction-flat structures, and, in the case of Riemannian signatur…
We study the problem of conformally deforming a metric to a prescribed symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor. We prove an existence theorem for a wide class of symmetric functions on manifolds with positive Ricci curvature, provided the conformal class admits an admissible metric.
In this paper we study the problem of conformally deforming a metric to a prescribed symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tensor on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We prove its solvability and the compactness of the solution set, provided the Ricci tensor is non-negative definite.
Consider a geometrically finite Kleinian group G without parabolic or elliptic elements, with its Kleinian manifold $M=(\H^3\cup Ω_G)/G$. Suppose that for each boundary component of M, either a maximal and connected measured lamination in the Masur domain or a marked conformal structure is given. In this setting, w…
Let (M,g) be a compact connected orientable Riemannian manifold of dimension n≥4 and let λk,p(g) be the k-th positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian Δg,p=dd∗+d∗d acting on differential forms of degree p on M. We prove that the metric g can be conformally deformed to a metric g′, having the sam…
A metric with positive sectional curvature on the Gromoll-Meyer exotic 7-sphere is constructed explicitly. The proof relies on a 2-parameter family of left invariant metrics on Sp(2) and a one-parameter family of conformal deformations via an isoparametric function F on it. One byproduct is a metric with positive secti…
In this paper we prove that every Riemannian metric on a locally conformally flat manifold with umbilic boundary can be conformally deformed to a scalar flat metric having constant mean curvature. This result can be seen as a generalization to higher dimensions of the well known Riemann mapping Theorem in the plane.
