Gauss-Bonnet curvatures of a Riemannian metric, joint with Bin Guo and Haizhong Li, Pacific Journal of Mathematics 251 (2011), 257--268.
This is almost the same as posted on arxiv as arXiv:0911.4649[Math DG], with minor corrections.
- On the prescribing $\sigma_2$ curvature equation on $\mathbb S^4$,
joint with S. -Y. Alice Chang and Paul Yang. This is the same as posted on arxiv as
arXiv:0911.0375[Math DG]. The published version is at
Calculus of Variations and PDE, 40(2011), 539-565
(published online July 7, 2010), DOI: 10.1007/s00526-010-0350-2.
- ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTIONS TO THE sigma_k-YAMABE EQUATION NEAR
ISOLATED SINGULARITIES, joint with YanYan Li and Eduardo V. Teixeira.
This version added a reference which we learned after the paper was first posted on
arxiv as arXiv:0911.0234[Math AP]. The published version is at
Invent Math, 182(2010), 635-684 (published online Aug. 18, 2010), DOI 10.1007/s00222-010-0274-7.
-
On the local solvability of the Nirenberg problem on $S^2$,

dcds.2010.28.607.
- A Kazdan-Warner type identity for the $\sigma_k$ curvature,
published in C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 342(2006), pp. 475--478.

Please note a mis-statement
in lines 2--5 of Remark 4. The correction is here.

Also it has been brought to my attention that Theorem 1 in the case of
$k < n$ and $(M,g)$ locally conformally flat
had been covered in Theorem 5.2 of J. Viaclovsky's
article "Some Fully Nonlinear Equations in Conformal Geometry", Differential equations and mathematical physics (Birmingham, AL, 1999) (Providence, RI), Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 2000, pp. 425--433.

Yamabe equation on annular domains, joint with S. -Y. A. Chang
and P. Yang. This is the pre-print version as of June 2005. The published version
is at
JDE, 216(2005), 482-501.
