In this paper we study the local behaviour of admissible metrics in the k-Yamabe problem on compact Riemannian manifolds $(M, g_0)$ of dimension $n\ge 3$. For $n/2 <k<n$, we prove a sharp Harnack inequality for admissible metrics when…

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…

It is well known that a unit sphere admits Sasakian 3-structure. Also, Sasakian manifolds are locally isometric to a unit sphere under several curvature and critical conditions. So, a natural question is: Does there exist any curvature or…

We show that there are infinitely many pairwise nonhomothetic, complete, periodic metrics with constant scalar curvature that are conformal to the round metric on $S^n\setminus S^k$, where $k < \frac{n-2}{2}$. These metrics are obtained by…
