Abstract: We study conformal metrics on R3, i.e., metrics of the form gu=e2u|dx|2, which have constant Q-curvature and finite volume. This is equivalent to studying the non-local equation (-Delta)^frac32 u = 2 e^{3u} in R3 V:=int_{mathbb{R}^3}e^{3u}dx<infty, where V is the volume of gu. Adapting a technique of A. Chang and W-X. Chen to the non-local framework, we show the existence of a large class of such metrics, particularly for Vle2pi2=|S3|. Inspired by previous works of C-S. Lin and L. Martinazzi, who treated the analogue cases in even dimensions, we classify such metrics based on their behavior at infinity.
