Title: 
An application of Q-curvature to the Adams-Moser-Trudinger embedding

Abstract:
We will briefly discuss the critical embedding of Trudinger, Moser and
Adams of Sobolev spaces into Orlicz spaces and show a concentration-compactness result for critical points of such embedding.
Quite interestingly, the proof of this result relies on the properties
of conformal metrics on Euclidean space having constant Q-curvature,
which we shall also discuss.
