Let $(E,\F,\mu)$ be a $\si$-finite measure space. For a non-negative symmetric measure $J(\d x, \d y):=J(x,y) \,\mu(\d x)\,\mu(\d y)$ on $E\times E,$ consider the quadratic form $$\E(f,f):= \frac{1}{2}\int_{E\times E} (f(x)-f(y))^2 \, J(\d…

We consider two notions of functions of bounded variation in complete metric measure spaces, one due to Martio and the other due to Miranda~Jr. We show that these two notions coincide, if the measure is doubling and supports a…

This paper is devoted to several existence results for a generalized version of the Yamabe problem. First, we prove the remaining global cases for the range of powers $\gamma\in (0,1)$ for the generalized Yamabe problem introduced by…

We establish the existence of an optimal partition for the Yamabe equation in the whole space made up of mutually linearly isometric sets, each of them invariant under the action of a group of linear isometries. To do this, we establish the…

In this paper, we study scalar curvature rigidity of non-smooth metrics on smooth manifolds with non-positive Yamabe invariant. We prove that if the scalar curvature is not less than the Yamabe invariant in distributional sense, then the…

We consider the problem of prescribing conformally the scalar curvature on compact manifolds of positive Yamabe class in dimension $n \geq 5$. We prove new existence results using Morse theory and some analysis on blowing-up solutions,…

Canonical metrics and conformal invariants are presented for closed oriented even-dimensional manifolds with non-degenerate conformal structures and in particular for compact Riemann surfaces.

We obtain uncountably many periodic solutions to the singular Yamabe problem on a round sphere, that blow up along a great circle. These are (complete) constant scalar curvature metrics on the complement of $S^1$ inside $S^m$, $m\geq 5$,…

We generalize Kobayashi's connected-sum inequality to the $\lambda$-Yamabe invariants. As an application, we calculate the $\lambda$-Yamabe invariants of $\#m_1\mathbb{RP}^n\# m_2(\mathbb{RP}^{n-1}\times S^1)\#lH^n\#kS_+^n$, for any…

In this short note, exploits of constructions of $\mathcal{F}$-structures coupled with technology developed by Cheeger-Gromov and Paternain-Petean are seen to yield a procedure to compute minimal entropy, minimal volume, Yamabe invariant…

For a compact Riemannian $n$-manifold $(M,g)$ of positive scalar curvature, the capital $\Ein$ invariant of $g$ is defined to be the infinimum over $M$ of the quotient of the scalar curvature by the maximal eigenvalue of the Ricci…

We provide a full resolution of the Yamabe problem on closed 3-manifolds for Riemannian metrics of Sobolev class $W^{2,q}$ with $q > 3$. This requires developing an elliptic theory for the conformal Laplacian for rough metrics and…

In the work of Ammann, Dahl and Humbert it has turned out that the Yamabe invariant on closed manifolds is a bordism invariant below a certain threshold constant. A similar result holds for a spinorial analogon. These threshold constants…

We show a surgery formula for the relative Yamabe invariant and give applications to the study of concordance classes of metrics.

Invertible compositions of one-dimensional maps are studied which are assumed to include maps with non-positive Schwarzian derivative and others whose sum of distortions is bounded. If the assumptions of the Koebe principle hold, we show…

On any closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$, we prove that if a function nearly minimizes the Yamabe energy, then the corresponding conformal metric is close, in a quantitative sense, to a minimizing Yamabe metric in the…

On a compact stratified space (X, g) there exists a metric of constant scalar curvature in the conformal class of g, if the scalar curvature satisfies an integrability condition and if the Yamabe constant of X is strictly smaller than the…

In this paper, we prove several Poincar\'e inequalities of fractional type on conformally flat manifolds with finite total Q-curvature. This shows a new aspect of the $Q$-curvature on noncompact complete manifolds.

It is shown in the paper "Variational Properties of the Gauss-Bonnet Curvatures" of M.L. Labbi, that metrics with constant 2k-Gauss-Bonnet curvature on a closed n-dimensional manifold, 1<2k<n, are critical points for a certain Hilbert type…
