Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a compact smooth connected Riemannian manifold (without boundary) of dimension N7N\ge7. Assume MM is symmetric with respect to a point ξ0\xi_0 with non-vanishing Weyl's tensor. We consider the linear perturbation of the Yamabe problem (Pϵ)Lgu+ϵu=uN+2N2 in (M,g).(P_\epsilon)\qquad-\mathcal L_g u+\epsilon u=u^{N+2\over N-2}\ \hbox{in}\ (M,g) . We prove that for any kNk\in \mathbb N, there exists ϵk>0\epsilon_k>0 such that for all ϵ(0,ϵk)\epsilon\in (0, \epsilon_k) the problem (Pϵ)(P_\epsilon) has a symmetric solution uϵ,u_\epsilon , which looks like the superposition of kk positive bubbles centered at the point ξ0\xi_0 as ϵ0\epsilon\to 0. In particular, ξ0\xi_0 is a {\em towering} blow-up point.
