We prove that any metric of positive scalar curvature on a manifold X extends to the trace of any surgery in codim > 2 on X to a metric of positive scalar curvature which is product near the boundary. This provides a direct way to construct metrics of positive scalar curvature on compact manifolds w

✦ Synopsis
Let (M, g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n ~2. First, we study the existence of positive solutions for generalized scalar curvature type equations; these equations are nonlinear, of critical Sobolev growth, and involve the p-Laplacian. Then, we study similar type of equations, but in the presence of a perturbation. © Academic des ScienceslElsevier, Paris Equation de type courbure scalaire gelleralisee sur des varietes riemanniennes compactes Resume. Soit (M, g) une variete riemannienne compacte de dimension n ~2. On etudle dans un premier temps I'existence de solutions positives pour des equations de type courbure scalaire generalisee ; res equations sont non lineaires. acroissance de Sobolev critique, et font intervenir Ie p-Iaplacien.

L'equation (E), qui est une extension de l'equation de courbure scalaire prescrite, est dite de « type courbure scalaire generalisee », Dans l'etude de cette equation, l'operateur Lgu = ~pu + alu!p-2u joue un role fondamental.

Let (V 2 , g) be a C ∞ compact Riemannian manifold of negative constant scalar curvature of dimension n = 2, and let f be a smooth function defined on V 2 . We intend to find conditions on f in order that f be the scalar curvature of a metric conformal to g.
This paper contains a classification of all three-dimensional manifolds with constant eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor that carry a non-trivial solution of the Einstein-Dirac equation.
