The Nirenberg Problem for Conical Singularities

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We propose a new approach to the question of prescribing Gaussian curvature on the 2-sphere with at least three conical singularities and angles less than 2pi, the main result being sufficient conditions for a positive function of class at least C2 to be the Gaussian curvature of such a conformal conical metric on the round sphere. Our methods particularly differ from the variational approach in that they don't rely on the Moser-Trudinger inequality. Along the way, we also prove a general precompactness theorem for compact Riemann surfaces with at least three conical singularities and angles less than 2pi.
