Review text

The maximal solutions of the equation \(\Delta u=u^{(n+2)/(n-2)}\) arising from the conformal change from a flat metric in a domain (in Euclidean space) to a metric of negative scalar curvature are determined. These solutions are obtained on the upper half ball (and therefore on anything conformally equivalent to it). It is shown that the associated metric induced by a maximal solution is comparable with the quasihyperbolic metric for ``nice domains. An analog of the isoperimetric inequality is found for the ``harmonic radius.
