Abstract

We prove global existence of Yamabe flows on non-compact manifolds MM of dimension m3m\geq3 under the assumption that the initial metric g0=u0gMg_0=u_0g_M is conformally equivalent to a complete background metric gMg_M of bounded, non-positive scalar curvature and positive Yamabe invariant with conformal factor u0u_0 bounded from above and below. We do not require initial curvature bounds. In particular, the scalar curvature of (M,g0)(M,g_0) can be unbounded from above and below without growth condition.
