We study the Yamabe problem on open manifolds of bounded geometry and show that under suitable assumptions there exist Yamabe metrics, i.e. conformal metrics of constant scalar curvature. For that, we use weighted Sobolev embeddings.

We provide optimal pinching results on closed Einstein manifolds with positive Yamabe invariant in any dimension, extending the optimal bound for the scalar curvature due to Gursky and LeBrun in dimension four. We also improve the known…

We introduce new invariants of a Riemannian singular space, the local Yamabe and Sobolev constants, and then go on to prove a general version of the Yamabe theorem under that the global Yamabe invariant of the space is strictly less than…

Let $ m, n $ be integers such that $ \frac{n}{2} > m \geq 1 $ and let $ (M, g) $ be a closed $ n-$dimensional Riemannian manifold. We prove there exists some $ B \in \mathbb{R} $ depending only on $ (M, g) $, $ m $, and $ n $ such that for…

Given a conformally variational scalar Riemannian invariant $I$, we identify a sufficient condition for a compact Riemannian manifold to admit finite regular coverings with many nonhomothetic conformal rescalings with $I$ constant. We also…

We prove that the metric of the Riemannian product $(\mb{S}^k(r_1)\times \mb{S}^{n-k}(r_2), g^n_k)$, $r_1^2+r_2^2=1$, is a Yamabe metric in its conformal class if, and only if, either $g^n_k$ is Einstein, or the linear isometric embedding…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact connected spin manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ whose Yamabe invariant is positive. We assume that $(M,g)$ is locally conformally flat or that $n \in \{3,4,5\}$. According to a positive mass theorem of Witten, the…

For a closed, connected direct product Riemannian manifold $(M, g)=(M_1\times\cdots\times M_l, g_1\oplus\cdots\oplus g_l)$, we define its multiconformal class $ [\![ g ]\!]$ as the totality $\{f_1^2g_1\oplus \cdots\oplus f_l^2g_l\}$ of all…

Motivated by the work of Li and Mantoulidis, we study singular metrics which are uniformly Euclidean $(L^\infty)$ on a compact manifold $M^n$ ($n\ge 3$) with negative Yamabe invariant $\sigma(M)$. It is well-known that if $g$ is a smooth…

We prove that any positive solution of the Yamabe equation on an asymptotically flat $n$-dimensional manifold of flatness order at least $\frac{n-2}{2}$ and $n\le 24$ must converge at infinity either to a fundamental solution of the Laplace…

For a compact manifold $M$ of $\dim M =n\geq 4$, we study two conformal invariants of a conformal class $C$ on $M$. These are the Yamabe constant $Y_C(M)$ and the $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$-norm $W_C(M)$ of the Weyl curvature. We prove that for any…

One way to generalize the boundary Yamabe problem posed by Escobar is to ask if a given metric on a compact manifold with boundary can be conformally deformed to have vanishing $\sigma_k$-curvature in the interior and constant…
