Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension nn with smooth boundary M\partial M, admitting a scalar-flat conformal metric. We prove that the supremum of the isoperimetric ratio over the scalar-flat conformal class is strictly larger than the best constant of the isoperimetric inequality in the Euclidean space, and consequently is achieved, if either (i) 9n119\le n\le 11 and M\partial M has a nonumbilic point; or (ii) 7n97\le n\le 9, M\partial M is umbilic and the Weyl tensor does not vanish identically on the boundary. This is a continuation of the work \cite{Jin-Xiong} by the second named author and Xiong.
