Abstract:
Let be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension . We consider the problem
where , , . We require to be positive and invariant under isometries. We prove existence results for on arbitrary compact manifolds. This includes the case of the geometric Paneitz-Branson operator on the sphere.
