ERWANN DELAY

Abstract.On an Asymptotically Hyperbolic Einstein manifold (M, g 0 ) for which the Yamabe invariant of the conformal structure on the boundary at infinity is non-negative, we show that the op- erators of Ricci curvature, and of Einstein curvature, are locally invertible in a neighborhood of the metricg 0 . We deduce in the ∞ Ccase that the image of the Riemann-Christoffel curvature op- erator is a submanifold in a neighborhood ofg 0 .

1.Introduction Conformally compact manifolds form a very important class of non- compact manifolds either in Riemannian geometry or in General Rela- tivity. We are interested here in such manifolds which are asymptoti- cally hyperbolic (their sectional curvature approches−1 at infinity) and Einstein. We show that the Ricci curvature and the Einstein curvature can be arbitrarily prescribed on the manifold in the neighborhood of an Asymptotically Hyperbolic Einstein Metric (AHEM). We deduce that the Image of the Riemann-Christoffel operator is a submanifold near an AHEM. This result extends a previous work [D1] on the real hyperbolic space. The method to invert the Ricci or Einstein opera- tor is an implicit function theorem in the neighborhood of the AHEM metriconsomeweightedHo¨lderspaces.Theproblemisthenreduced to invert an operator of kind4+Kon symmetric covariant two tensor where4is the Laplacian associated to the AHEM andKa term of order zero; for instance we have to invert the Lichnerowicz Laplacian in
