Uniqueness of conformal metrics with constant Q-curvature on closed Einstein manifolds

Abstract: On a smooth, closed Riemannian manifold

(M, g)

of dimension

n g e 3

with positive scalar curvature and not conformally diffeomorphic to the standard sphere, we prove that the only conformal metrics to

g

with constant Q-curvature of order 4 are the metrics

l a m b d a g

with

l a m b d a > 0

constant.
