Among all conformal classes of Riemannian metrics on ${\Bbb CP}_2$, 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…

The Yamabe problem in compact closed Riemannian manifolds is concerned with finding a metric with constant scalar curvature in the conformal class of a given metric. This problem was solved by the combined work of Yamabe, Trudinger, Aubin,…

Let $(M,\textit{g},\sigma)$ be an $m$-dimensional closed spin manifold, with a fixed Riemannian metric $\textit{g}$ and a fixed spin structure $\sigma$; let $\mathbb{S}(M)$ be the spinor bundle over $M$. The spinorial Yamabe-type problems…

Fine shape, as defined by Melikhov, is an extension of the strong shape category of compacta (compact metrizable topological spaces) to all metrizable spaces, notable for being compatible with both \v{C}ech cohomology and Steenrod-Sitnikov…
