Generalized $S^1$-stability theorem

Abstract

We use the equivariant μ\mu-bubbles technique to prove that for any compact manifold MnM^n with non-empty boundary, n{3,5,6}n\in\{3,5,6\}, the Yamabe invariant of MnM^n is positive if and only if the Yamabe invariant of Mn×S1M^n\times S^1 is positive. This generalized the S1S^1-stability conjecture of Rosenberg to compact manifolds with boundary.
