We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Conformal metrics of constant mass
Lutz Habermann
Abstract
We give a new interpretation of the canonical metrics associated to scalar positive locally conformally flat structures introduced in a previous paper. This allows us to extend the definition to not necessarily locally conformally flat structures in low dimensions.
