ABSTRACT
We show that on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary there exists $${u \in C^{\infty}(M)}$$ such that, u â‰¡ 0 and u solves the Ïƒ-Ricci problem. In the case k = n the metric has negative Ricci curvature. Furthermore, we show the existence of a complete conformally related metric on the interior solving the Ïƒ-Ricci problem. By adopting results of (Mazzeo and Pacard, Pacific J. Math. 212(1), 169-185 (2003)), we show an interesting relationship between the complete metrics we construct and the existence of PoincarÃ©-Einstein metrics. Finally we give a brief discussion of the corresponding questions in the case of positive curvature.

On the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold (M; g) we consider a pseudo-Riemannian metric defined by a symmetric tensor field c on M and four real valued smooth functions defined on [0;1). We study the conditions under which the above pseudo-Riemannian manifold has constant sectional curvature.
