Abstract: We study the conformal metrics on $R^{2m}$ with constant Q-curvature $Q$ having finite volume, particularly in the case $Qleq0$. We show that when $Q<0$ such metrics exist in $R^{2m}$ if and only if $m>1$. Moreover we study their asymptotic behavior at infinity, in analogy with the case $Q>0$, which we treated in a recent paper. When Q=0, we show that such metrics have the form $e^{2p}{g}_{R^{2m}}$, where $p$ is a polynomial such that $2leqdegpleq2m-2$ and $su{p}_{R^{2m}}p<+infty$. In dimension 4, such metrics are exactly the polynomials $p$ of degree 2 with $li{m}_{|x|o+infty}p(x)=-infty$.

Summary: We study the conformal metrics on \(\mathbb{R}{^2m}\) with constant \(Q\)-curvature \(Q\in\mathbb{R}\) having finite volume, particularly in the case \(Q\leq 0\). We show that when \(Q1\). Moreover we study their asymptotic behavior at infinity, in analogy with the case \(Q>0\), which we treated in a recent paper. When \(Q=0\), we show that such metrics have the form \(e^{2p}g_{\mathbb{R}^{2m}}\), where \(p\) is a polynomial such that \(2\leq \deg p\leq 2m-2\) and \(\sup_{\mathbb{R}{2m}}p<+\infty\). In dimension 4, such metrics correspond to the polynomials \(p\) of degree 2 with \(\lim_{|x|\to+\infty}p(x)=-\infty\).
