A priori estimate for the Nirenberg problem

Abstract Related Papers Cited by
  • We establish a priori estimate for solutions to the prescribing Gaussian curvature equation

    $ - \Delta u + 1 = K(x) e^{2u}, x \in S^2,$    (1)

    for functions $K(x)$ which are allowed to change signs. In [16], Chang, Gursky and Yang obtained a priori estimate for the solution of (1) under the condition that the function K(x) be positive and bounded away from 0. This technical assumption was used to guarantee a uniform bound on the energy of the solutions. The main objective of our paper is to remove this well-known assumption. Using the method of moving planes in a local way, we are able to control the growth of the solutions in the region where K is negative and in the region where K is small and thus obtain a priori estimate on the solutions of (1) for general functions K with changing signs.
