ABSTRACT
We formulate an appropriate gradient flow in order to study the evolution of the Q-curvature to a prescribed function on a 4-manifold. For a class of prescribed functions, we show convergence and describe the asymptotic behaviour at infinity.

A new construction is presented of scalar-flat Kï¿½hler metrics on non-minimal ruled surfaces. The method is based on the resolution of singularities of orbifold ruled surfaces which are closely related to rank-2 parabolically stable holomorphic bundles. This rather general construction is...

A cover of a manifold X is called an r-cover if any r points of X belong to a set in the cover. Let X and Y be two smooth manifolds, let Emb( X, Y) be the family of smooth embeddings X ? Y, let M be an Abelian group, and let F: Emb( X, Y) ? M be a functional. One says that the degree of F does...

We show that Lagrangian submanifolds in six-dimensional nearly Kï¿½hler (non-Kï¿½hler) manifolds and in twistor spaces Z4 n+2 over quaternionic Kï¿½hler manifolds Q4 n are minimal. Moreover, we prove that any Lagrangian submanifold L in a nearly Kï¿½hler manifold M splits into a...
