Suppose $(M, g)$ is a smooth, closed, $5$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with positive Yamabe invariant $Y(M, [g])>0$ and positive Yamabe-type $Q$-curvature invariant $Y_{4}^{\ast}(M, [g])>0$. Using the continuity method, we prove the existence of a metric in the conformal class $[g]$ with positive scalar curvature and positive $Q$-curvature, assuming an additional condition on an ``initial metric"in the class $[g]$.
Let $(M^n,g)$ be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\ge 5$. We show that the existence of a conformal metric with positive $Q$-curvature $Q_g$ and positive scalar curvature $R_g$ is equivalent to the positivity of both the Yamabe invariant $Y(M^n,[g])$ and the Paneitz operator $P_g$. For $n=5$, this eq...
Let $(M^n,g)$ be a connected, closed, smooth Riemannian manifold with dimension $n\geq 3$. There exists a positive constant $\varepsilon_n<1$ such that, if Ricci curvature $\operatorname{Ric}_g\geq \varepsilon_n(n-1)g$ and the scalar curvature $R_g\geq n(n-1)$, then the volume $V_g(M^n)$ is less than or equal to the vo...
Let $4\le n\le7$ and let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete, connected, orientable, noncompact Riemannian manifold of positive scalar curvature. We prove that if the asymptotic quadratic scalar curvature coefficient of $g$ is greater than $(n-1)/n$, then $M$ carries a complete smooth metric whose scalar curvature is at least one....
Let $I_a(g)=Q_g+a\sigma_2(A_g)$, where $A_g$ is the Schouten tensor and $Q_g$ is Branson's $Q$-curvature. On a closed connected manifold of dimension $n\ge4$ with a positive Einstein metric $g_0$, we prove that every smooth metric conformal to $g_0$ with nonnegative scalar curvature and constant $I_a(g)$ is Einstein fo...
Let $(M,g)$ be an asymptotically flat manifold such that its tangent bundle $TM$ is diffeomorphically asymptotically Euclidean. We prove a positive mass theorem and a positive mass rigidity theorem for a natural class of asymptotically flat metrics $\widetilde g$ on $TM$ exhibiting slow asymptotic decay. These metrics...
Let $2\leq k<n/2$ and let $(M^n,[g])$ be a smooth, closed, connected, and locally conformally flat Riemannian manifold with a $k$-admissible metric in the conformal class $[g]$. We prove a stability result of the $\sigma_k$-curvature inequality on $M$, in the sense that if equality is almost satisfied for some conforma...
