Conformally prescribed scalar curvature on orbifolds

Abstract

We study the prescribed scalar curvature problem in a conformal class on orbifolds with isolated singularities. We prove a compactness theorem in dimension 44, and an existence theorem which holds in dimensions n4n \geq 4. This problem is more subtle than the manifold case since the positive mass theorem does not hold for ALE metrics in general. We also determine the U(2)\rm{U}(2)-invariant Leray-Schauder degree for a family of negative-mass orbifolds found by LeBrun.
