We study the Yamabe flow starting from an asymptotically flat manifold $(M^n,g_0)$. We show that the flow converges to an asymptotically flat, scalar flat metric in a weighted global sense if $Y(M,[g_0])>0$, and show that the flow does not…

Let $(M^{n},g_{0})$ be a $n=3,4,5$ dimensional, closed Riemannian manifold of positive Yamabe invariant. For a smooth function $K>0$ on $M$ we consider a scalar curvature flow, that tends to prescribe $K$ as the scalar curvature of a metric…
