DESCRIPTION:prof. Andrea Malchiodi\nWe consider a class of singular Liouvi
 lle equations which arise from the problem of prescribing the Gaussian cur
 vature of a surface imposing a given conical structure at a finite number 
 of points (as well as from models in Chern-Simons theory). The problem is 
 variational\, and differently from the "regular" case the Euler-Lagrange f
 unctional might be unbounded from below. We will look for critical points 
 of saddle type using a combination of improved geometric inequalities and 
 topological methods. This is joint work with D.Bartolucci\, A.Carlotto\, F
 .De Marchis and D.Ruiz.
