On a fractional Nirenberg problem via a non-degeneracy condition

On a fractional Nirenberg problem via a non-degeneracy condition

Azeb Alghanemi and Afef Rigane – GJM, Volume 6, Issue 1 (2021), 43-59.

In this paper, we establish existence results to a fractional Nirenberg problem of order \sigma\in(0,\frac{3}{2}) on the standard three dimensional sphere. Our approach of this paper consists of studying the limits of the non-compact orbits of the gradient flow, as did Bahri for the Nirenberg problem, and performing a Morse Lemma at infinity near these ends. This involves computing their topological contributions which then yields the results.
