In this paper, we investigate the prescribed scalar curvature problem on a non-compact Riemannian manifold $(M, \langle \, , \, \rangle)$, namely the existence of a conformal deformation of the metric $\langle \, , \, \rangle$ realizing a…

In this paper we introduce the following Yamabe problem for the quotient between the $Q$ curvature and the scalar curvature $R$: Find a conformal metric $g$ in a given conformal class $[g_0]$ with \[ Q_g/R_g=const. \] When the dimension…

Prescribing conformally the scalar curvature on a closed manifold with negative Yamabe invariant as a given function $K$ is possible under smallness assumptions on $K_{+}=\max\{K,0\}$ and in particular, when $K<0$. In addition, while…

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…

Let $(M^n,g,e^{-\phi}dV_g,e^{-\phi}dA_g,m)$ be a compact smooth metric measure space with boundary with $n\geqslant 3$. In this article, we consider several Yamabe-type problems on a compact smooth metric measure space with or without…

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…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$. For a metric $g$ on $M$, we let $\la_2(g)$ be the second eigenvalue of the Yamabe operator $L_g:= \frac{4(n-1)}{n-2} \Delta_g + \scal_g$. Then, the second Yamabe invariant…
