Abstract

Let RR be a constant. Let MγR\mathcal{M}^R_\gamma be the space of smooth metrics gg on a given compact manifold Ωn\Omega^n (n3n\ge 3) with smooth boundary Σ\Sigma such that gg has constant scalar curvature RR and gΣg|_{\Sigma} is a fixed metric γ\gamma on Σ\Sigma. Let V(g)V(g) be the volume of gMγRg\in\mathcal{M}^R_\gamma. In this work, we classify all Einstein or conformally flat metrics which are critical points of V()V(\cdot) in MγR\mathcal{M}^R_\gamma.
