A Dual Yamabe Flow and Related Integral Flows
The author studies a family of nonlinear integral flows that involve Riesz potentials on Riemannian manifolds. In the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (HLS for short) subcritical regime, he presents a precise blow-up profile exhibited by the flows. In the HLS critical regime, by introducing a dual Q curvature he demonstrates the concentration-compactness phenomenon. If, in addition, the integral kernel matches with the Green’s function of a conformally invariant elliptic operator, this critical flow can be considered as a dual Yamabe flow. Convergence is then established on the unit spheres, which is also valid on certain locally conformally flat manifolds.
