Title: Critical points of the Moser-Trudinger functional on closed surfaces

Abstract: Given a 2-dimensional closed surface, we will show that the
Moser-Trudinger functional has critical points of arbitrarily high energy.
Since the functional is too critical to directly apply to it the known
variational methods (in particular the Struwe monotonicity trick), we will
approximate it by subcritical ones, which in fact interpolate it to a
Liouville-type functional from conformal geometry. Hence our result will
also unify and give common results for these two apparently unrelated
problems. This is a joint work with F. De Marchis, A. Malchiodi and P-D.
