We study Yamabe metrics, and the moduli space of Yamabe metrics, on an arbitrary closed 3-manifold M. The main focus is on the boundary behavior of the moduli space, i.e. the behavior of degenerating sequences of unit volume Yamabe metrics…

We identify all metrics on a closed $n$-manifold with their Nash isometric embeddings into a standard sphere of large, but fixed dimension, and use the Palais' isotopic extension theorem to identify their deformations with the isotopic…

In this paper, we will establish the best constants for certain classes of weighted Moser-Trudinger inequalities on the entire Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^N$. We will also prove the existence of maximizers of these sharp weighted…

We compute the Yamabe invariants for a new infinite class of closed $4$-dimensional manifolds by using a "twisted" version of the Seiberg-Witten equations, the $\mathrm{Pin}^-(2)$-monopole equations. The same technique also provides a new…

We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for an asymptotically Euclidean manifold to be conformally related to one with specified nonpositive scalar curvature: the zero set of the desired scalar curvature must have a positive Yamabe…

We introduce an iterative scheme to prove the Yamabe problem $ - a\Delta_{g} u + S u = \lambda u^{p-1} $, firstly on open domain $ (\Omega, g) $ with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and then on closed manifolds $ (M, g) $ by local argument.…

This work is devoted to the analysis of the Yamabe problem on Spin manifolds and some applications to CMC immersions. Despite the efforts of many authors, very little is known on the existence of Yamabe metrics on general Spin manifolds.…

A classical theorem in conformal geometry states that on a manifold with non-positive Yamabe invariant, a smooth metric achieving the invariant must be Einstein. In this work, we extend it to the singular case and show that in all…

We study the H^n-Yamabe constants of Riemannian products (H^n \times M^m, g_h^n +g), where (M,g) is a compact Riemannian manifold of constant scalar curvature and g_h^n is the hyperbolic metric on H^n. Numerical calculations can be carried…
