Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a non-locally conformally flat compact Riemannian manifold with dimension N7.N\ge7. We are interested in finding positive solutions to the linear perturbation of the Yamabe problem Lgu+ϵu=uN+2N2 in (M,g)-\mathcal L_g u+\epsilon u=u^{N+2\over N-2}\ \hbox{in}\ (M,g) where the first eigenvalue of the conformal laplacian Lg-\mathcal L_g is positive and ϵ\epsilon is a small positive parameter. We prove that for any point ξ0M\xi_0\in M which is non-degenerate and non-vanishing minimum point of the Weyl's tensor and for any integer kk there exists a family of solutions developing kk peaks collapsing at ξ0\xi_0 as ϵ\epsilon goes to zero. In particular, ξ0\xi_0 is a non-isolated blow-up point.
