Abstract

Let (Mm,g)(M^m,g) be a closed Riemannian manifold (m2)(m\geq 2) of positive scalar curvature and (Nn,h)(N^n,h) any closed manifold. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the second Yamabe constant and the second NN-Yamabe constant of (M×N,g+th)(M\times N,g+th) as tt goes to ++\infty. We obtain that limt+Y2(M×N,[g+th])=22m+nY(M×\ren,[g+ge]).\lim_{t \to +\infty}Y^2(M\times N,[g+th])=2^{\frac{2}{m+n}}Y(M\times \re^n, [g+g_e]). If n2n\geq 2, we show the existence of nodal solutions of the Yamabe equation on (M×N,g+th)(M\times N,g+th) (provided tt large enough). When the scalar curvature of (M,g)(M,g) is constant, we prove that limt+YN2(M×N,g+th)=22m+nY\ren(M×\ren,g+ge)\lim_{t \to +\infty}Y^2_N(M\times N,g+th)=2^{\frac{2}{m+n}}Y_{\re^n}(M\times \re^n, g+g_e). Also we study the second Yamabe invariant and the second NN-Yamabe invariant.
