ABSTRACT
We prove that under suitable assumptions, the constant term in the Green function of the Paneitzâ€“Branson operator on a compact Riemannian manifold ( M, g) is positive unless ( M, g) is conformally diffeomorphic to the standard sphere. The proof is inspired by the positive mass theorem on spin manifolds by Ammann and Humbert (Geom Func Anal 15(3):567â€“576, 2005 [1]).

Let ( M, g) be an n-dimensional complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with harmonic curvature and positive Sobolev constant. In this paper, by employing an elliptic estimation method, we show that ( M, g) is a space form if it has sufficiently small L-norms of trace-free curvature tensor and...

We provide the tangent bundle TM of pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, g) with the Sasaki metric gs and the neutral metric gn. First we show that the holonomy group Hs of (TM, gs) contains the one of (M, g). What allows us to show that if (TM, gs) is indecomposable reducible, then the basis manifold...
