Abstract

We consider the prescribed scalar curvature problem on SN {\mathbb{S}}^N ΔSNvN(N2)2v+K~(y)vN+2N2=0\mboxon SN,v>0\mboxon SN, \Delta_{{\mathbb S}^N} v-\frac{N(N-2)}{2} v+\tilde{K}(y) v^{\frac{N+2}{N-2}}=0 \quad \mbox{on} \ {\mathbb S}^N, \qquad v >0 \quad \mbox{on} \ {\mathbb S}^N, under the assumptions that the scalar curvature K~\tilde K is rotationally symmetric, and has a positive local maximum point between the poles. We prove the existence of infinitely many non-radial positive solutions, whose energy can be made arbitrarily large. These solutions are invariant under some non-trivial sub-group of O(3)O(3) obtained doubling the equatorial. We use the finite dimensional Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method.
