We consider the problem of finding on a given Euclidean domain Ω of dimension n≥ 3 a complete conformally flat metric whose Schouten curvature A satisfies some equations of the form f(λ(- A)) = 1. This generalizes a problem considered by Loewner and Nirenberg for the scalar curvature. We prove the existence and uniqueness of such metric when the boundary ∂Ω is a smooth bounded hypersurface (of codimension one). When ∂Ω contains a compact smooth submanifold Σ of higher codimension with ∂Ω \ Σ being compact, we also give a ‘sharp’ condition for the divergence to infinity of the conformal factor near Σ in terms of the codimension.
