Abstract

For a sequence {(Mi,gi,xi)}\{(M_i, g_i, x_i)\} of pointed Riemannian manifolds with boundary, the sequence {(Mi,g~i,xi)}\{(M_i,\tilde g_i,x_i)\} is its conformal satellite if the metric g~i\tilde g_i is conformal to gig_i, that is, g~i=ui4n2gi\tilde g_i=u^{\frac{4}{n-2}}_ig_i. Assuming the manifolds (Mi,gi,xi)(M_i,g_i,x_i) have uniformly bounded geometry, we show that both sequences have smoothly Cheeger-Gromov convergent subsequences provided the conformal factors uiu_i are principal eigenfunctions of an appropriate elliptic operator. Part of our result is a Cheeger-Gromov compactness for manifolds with boundary. We use stable versions of classical elliptic estimates and inequalities found in the recently established 'flatzoomer' method.

25 pages. The authors discovered a mistake in the paper. In particular, the claim of Theorem B does not hold, however Theorem A still true, and, by insistence of the first author, Theorem A will be published by the second author in a separate paper
