Abstract

Let (Mn,g)(M^n, g) and (Xm,h)(X^m, h) be closed manifolds m,n>2m, n>2, such that (X,h)(X, h) has constant positive scalar curvature. We consider the one parameter family of products (M×X,g+ϵ2h)(M\times X, g+\epsilon^2 h), ϵ>0\epsilon>0. We prove that if either the scalar curvature of gg, sgs_g, is constant or a certain dimensional constant β=0\beta=0, there is some function Φ:MR\Phi:M\rightarrow \mathbb{R} that depends on sgs_g, the norm of the Ricci curvature of gg and the norm of the curvature tensor of gg; such that if ξ0\xi_0 is a stable, isolated, critical point of Φ\Phi, then for each KNK\in\mathbb{N}, there is some ϵ0>0\epsilon_0>0 such that for every ϵ(0,ϵ0)\epsilon \in (0,\epsilon_0) the subcritical Yamabe equation ϵ2Δgu+(1+cϵ2sg)u=uq-\epsilon^2\Delta_g u+(1+{\bf{c}}\epsilon^2 s_g)u=u^q has a positive KK-peak solution, which concentrates around ξ0\xi_0. Here, c=N24(N1){\bf{c}}=\frac{N-2}{4(N-1)}, q=N+2N2q=\frac{N+2}{N-2} and N=n+mN=n+m. This provides solutions for the Yamabe equation on Riemannian products (M×X,g+ϵ2h)(M\times X, g+\epsilon^2 h) and covers some remaining cases of previous results which handle the case where sgs_g has non-degenerate critical points and β0\beta\neq0.
