Research
My main research interest is the understanding of the structural properties of the set of solutions to critical nonlinear polyharmonic equations on compact Riemannian manifolds. I study the properties of sequences of solutions to equations involving a linear elliptic operator whose leading-order term is an integer power of the Laplacian, and where the non-linearity comes from the corresponding critical Sobolev exponent. These solutions commonly exhibit a blowing-up behavior, which needs to be understood by means of asymptotic analysis techniques.
Such equations arise naturally in various geometrical contexts, such as studying the optimal constants in the critical Sobolev embedding on closed manifolds, or when trying to prescribe higher-order analogs of the scalar curvature in the conformal class of the manifold's metric.
