Abstract
Let be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension with smooth boundary . Suppose that admits a scalar-flat conformal metric. We prove that the supremum of the isoperimetric quotient over the scalar-flat conformal class is strictly larger than the best constant of the isoperimetric inequality in the Euclidean space, and consequently is achieved, if either (i) and has a nonumbilic point; or (ii) , is umbilic and the Weyl tensor does not vanish at some boundary point.
