NONLINEAR PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS ON SEMI-RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS

  • Published : 2000.05.01

Abstract

In this paper, when N is a compact Riemannian manifold, we discuss the method of using warped products to construct timelike or null future (or past) complete Lorentzian metrics on $M=(-{\infty},{\;}\infty){\;}{\times}f^N$ with specific scalar curvatures.
