Abstract

Let (M,g) be a compact manifold of dimension n greater or equals to 3. We suppose that g is a given metric in a precised Sobolev space and there is a point P in M and d>o such that g is smooth on the ball B(P,d). We define the second Yamabe invariant with singularities a the minimum of the second eigenvalue of the singular Yamabe operator over a generalized class of conformal metrics to g and of volume 1. We show that this operator is attained by a generalized metric, we deduce nodal solutions to a Yamabe type equation with singularities.
