Variedades com curvatura prescrita : resultados de existência, unicidade, rigidez e bifurcação

Abstract

We present several results of existence, uniqueness, rigidity and bifurcation for the problem of prescribing various geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds, among which include: i) deformation and rigidity for 2k-Einstein structures on manifolds with constant (2k − 2)-sectional curvature; ii) conformal deformation of metrics in the context of the Yamabe Problem for Gauss-Bonnet curvatures; iii) uniqueness, bifurcation and local rigidity in scope of the Yamabe Problem for symmetric functions of eigenvalues of the Schouten tensor.
