We study conformal metrics on $R^3$, i.e., metrics of the form $g_u=e^{2u}|dx|^2$, which have constant $Q$-curvature and finite volume. This is equivalent to studying the non-local equation $(-Δ)^\frac32 u = 2 e^{3u}$ in $R^3$ $V:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}e^{3u}dx<\infty,$ where $V$ is the volume of $g_u$. Adapting a te…
