We study the space of smooth Riemannian structures on compact three-manifolds with boundary that satisfies a critical point equation associated with a boundary value problem, for simplicity, Miao-Tam critical metrics. We provide an estimate to the area of the boundary of Miao-Tam critical metrics on compact three-manifolds. In addition, we obtain a Bochner type formula which enables us to show that a Miao-Tam critical metric on a compact three-manifold with positive scalar curvature must be isometric to a geodesic ball in $Bbb{S}^3.$

We provide a general Bochner type formula which enables us to prove some rigidity results for $V$-static spaces. In particular, we show that an $n$-dimensional positive static triple with connected boundary and positive scalar curvature must be isometric to the standard hemisphere, provided that the metric has zero radial Weyl curvature and satisfies a suitable pinching condition. Moreover, we classify $V$-static spaces with non-negative sectional curvature.
We prove that a critical metric of the volume functional on a $4$-dimensional compact manifold with boundary satisfying a second-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor must be isometric to a geodesic ball in a simply connected space form $mathbb{R}^{4}$, $mathbb{H}^{4}$ or $mathbb{S}^{4}.$ Moreover, we provide an integral curvature estimate involving the Yamabe constant for critical metrics of the volume functional, which allows us to get a rigidity result for such critical metrics.
The goal of this article is to investigate the geometry of critical metrics of the volume functional on an $n$-dimensional compact manifold with (possibly disconnected) boundary. We establish sharp estimates to the mean curvature and area of the boundary components of critical metrics of the volume functional on a compact manifold. In addition, localized version estimates to the mean curvature and area of the boundary of critical metrics are also obtained.

We study the problem of deforming a Riemannian metric to a conformal one with nonzero constant scalar curvature and nonzero constant boundary mean curvature on a compact manifold of dimension $ngeq 3$. We prove the existence of such conformal metrics in the cases of $n=6,7$ or the manifold is spin and some other remaining ones left by Escobar. Furthermore, in the positive Yamabe constant case, by normalizing the scalar curvature to be $1$, there exists a sequence of conformal metrics such that their constant boundary mean curvatures go to $+infty$.
In this paper, we prove that a compact quasi-Einstein manifold $(M^n,,g,,u)$ of dimension $ngeq 4$ with boundary $partial M,$ nonnegative sectional curvature and zero radial Weyl tensor is either isometric, up to scaling, to the standard hemisphere $Bbb{S}^n_+,$ or $g=dt^{2}+psi ^{2}(t)g_{L}$ and $u=u(t),$ where $g_{L}$ is Einstein with nonnegative Ricci curvature. A similar classification result is obtained by assuming a fourth-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor. Moreover, a new example is presented in order to justify our assumptions. In addition, the case of dimension $n=3$ is also discussed.
