The Cotton tensor of three-dimensional Walker manifolds is investigated. A complete description of all locally conformally flat Walker three-manifolds is given, as well as that of Walker manifolds whose Cotton tensor is either a Codazzi or a Killing tensor.

AbstractIn this paper, we establish a finiteness theorem for $L^{p}$ L p harmonic 1-forms on a locally conformally flat Riemannian manifold under the assumptions on the Schrödinger operators involving the squared norm of the traceless Ricci form. This result can be regarded as a generalization of Han’s result on $L^{2}$ L 2 harmonic 1-forms.

Abstract We consider the pseudo-Euclidean space $$({\mathbb {R}}^n,g)$$(Rn,g), with $$n \ge 3$$n≥3 and $$g_{ij} = \delta _{ij} \varepsilon _{i}$$gij=δijεi, where $$\varepsilon _{i} = \pm 1$$εi=±1, with at least one positive $$\varepsilon _{i}$$εi and non-diagonal symmetric tensors $$T = \sum \nolimits _{i,j}f_{ij}(x) dx_i \otimes dx_{j} $$T=∑i,jfij(x)dxi⊗dxj. Assuming that the solutions are invariant by the action of a translation $$(n-1)$$(n-1)- dimensional group, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a metric $$\bar{g}$$g¯ conformal to g, such that the Schouten tensor $$\bar{g}$$g¯, is equal to T. From the obtained results, we show that for certain functions h, defined in $$\mathbb {R}^{n}$$Rn, there exist complete metrics $$\bar{g}$$g¯, conformal to the Euclidean metric g, whose curvature $$\sigma _{2}(\bar{g}) = h$$σ2(g¯)=h.

Given (M,g) a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n ≥ 5, we investigate compactness for fourth order critical equations like Pgu = u2♯-1, where [Formula: see text] is a Paneitz–Branson operator with constant coefficients b and c, u is required to be positive, and [Formula: see text] is critical from the Sobolev viewpoint. We prove that such equations are compact on locally conformally flat manifolds, unless b lies in some closed interval associated to the spectrum of the smooth symmetric (2,0)-tensor field involved in the definition of the geometric Paneitz–Branson operator.
