Abstract

We prove that generically (positive) Yamabe metrics are unique in their conformal class, and describe some sufficient conditions which imply that a Yamabe metric of locally maximal scalar curvature is an Einstein metric.

9pp. This is a complete rewritting of the previous version on the same topic, with new title. The reasoning for (2.14) in v1 is incorrect, and this estimate remains an open problem
