The problem of prescribing curvature of manifolds has been studied quite a lot during the last decades. In this talk I will present a (non complete) overview of existence/non existence results for hypersurfaces for different types of curvature (mean...

Donaldson introduced a metric and a geometric structure on the space of volume forms on any compact Rimannian manifold. The geodesic equation is a degenerate fully nonlinear elliptic equation. Also this equation is relevant to many interesting...
