A class of fully nonlinear equations on Riemannian manifolds with negative curvature

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a class of fully nonlinear equations on Riemannian manifolds with negative curvature which naturally arise in conformal geometry. Moreover, we prove the a priori estimates for solutions to these equations and establish the existence results. Our results can be viewed as an extension of previous results given by Gursky–Viaclovsky and Li–Sheng.
