Abstract

We study the polyharmonic problem Δmu=±eu in R2m, with m≥2. In particular, we prove that for any V>0, there exist radial solutions of Δmu=-eu such that (Formula Presented).It implies that for m odd, given any Q0>0 and arbitrary volume V>0, there exist conformal metrics g on R2m with constant Q-curvature equal to Q0 and vol(g) =V. This answers some open questions in Martinazzi’s work (Ann IHP Analyse non linéaire 30:969–982, 2013).
