Abstract

Among all conformal classes of Riemannian metrics on CP2{\Bbb CP}_2, that of the Fubini-Study metric is shown to have the largest Yamabe constant. The proof, which involves perturbations of the Seiberg-Witten equations, also yields new results on the total scalar curvature of almost-K\"ahler 4-manifolds.
