Title: The Dirichlet Problem for The Prescribed
Ricci Curvature Equation

Abstract: We will discuss the following question:
is it possible to find a Riemannian metric with
given Ricci curvature on a manifold M? To answer
this question, one must analyze a weakly elliptic
second-order partial differential equation for
tensors. In the first part of the talk, we will
review the relevant background and the history
of the subject. After that, our focus will be
on new results concerning the case where M is a
bounded domain in a cohomogeneity one manifold.
