A pointwise finite-dimensional reduction method for Einstein-Lichnerowicz-type systems: the six-dimensional case (Q1748246)

Let \((M,g)\) be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension \(n\geq 3\) and \(2^*=2n/(n-2)\). The paper deals with the Einstein--Lichnerowicz system over \(M,\) of unknowns \((u, T),\) of the type \[ \begin{cases} \Delta_gu+hu=fu^{2^*-1}+\dfrac{|\mathcal{L}_gT+\sigma|_g^2+\pi^2}{u^{2^*+1}},\\ \vec{\Delta}_gT=u^{2^*}X+Y, \end{cases} \] where \(u>0\) is a smooth function and \(T\) is a smooth \(1\)-form, \(\mathcal{L}_g\) is the conformal Killing derivative, \(\Delta_g\) and \(\vec{\Delta}_g\) stand for the Laplace-Beltrami and the Lamé operators, respectively, and \(h,f,\pi\) are smooth functions over \(M\) with \(f>0,\) \(\pi\not\equiv0,\) \(\sigma\) is a smooth bilinear form, and \(X\) and \(Y\) are smooth \(1\)-forms. Assuming that \((M, g)\) is a closed \(6\)-dimensional manifold of positive Yamabe type such that \(\vec{\Delta}_g\) has no kernel, the author constructs blowing-up solutions of the above system. The construction combines asymptotic analysis techniques with a finite-dimensional reduction approach.
