Abstract
We discuss folklore statements about distance functions in manifolds with two-sided bounded curvature. The topics include regularity, subsets of positive reach and the cut locus.
AbstractIn this paper, we consider the problem of the existence of conformal metrics with prescribed scalar curvature on the standard sphere S n, n ≥ 3. We give new existence and multiplicity results based on a new Euler-Hopf formula type. Our argument also has the advantage of extending well known results due to Y. Li [16].
