Using integral method, we prove global existence and convergence for the $Q$-curvature flow (resp $T$-curvature flow) to smooth metric of prescribed $Q$-curvature (resp $T$-curvature) under conformally invariant assumptions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-08-15T11:00:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B33", "53A30" ], "keywords": [ "curvature flow", "evolution equation", "mean curvature", "dimensional smooth riemannian manifold", "integral method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0708.2029B" } } }
