Abstract:
Through the study of some elliptic and parabolic fully nonlinear PDEs, we establish conformal versions of the quermassintegral inequality, the Sobolev inequality and the Moser-Trudinger inequality for the geometric quantities associated to the Schouten tensor on locally conformally flat manifolds.
