Abstract

The Yamabe problem in compact closed Riemannian manifolds is concerned with finding a metric with constant scalar curvature in the conformal class of a given metric. This problem was solved by the combined work of Yamabe, Trudinger, Aubin, and Schoen. In particular, Aubin solved the case when the Riemannian manifold is compact, is nonlocally conformally flat and has a dimension equal to or greater than 66. In 20152015, Case considered a Yamabe-type problem in the setting of smooth measure space in manifolds and for a parameter mm, which generalizes the original Yamabe problem when m=0m=0. Additionally, Case solved this problem when the parameter mm is a natural number. In the context of the Yamabe-type problem, we generalize Aubin's result for nonlocally conformally flat manifolds, with dimension equal and greater than 6 and parameter mm close to nonnegative integers.

Comments

The Theorem A of the previous version is not valid for all m due to an error in the computation of the term $A_5$. We modify the proof for values of m close to nonnegative integers. We also include dimension 6
