The Yamabe invariant is an invariant of a closed smooth manifold defined using conformal geometry and the scalar curvature. Recently, Petean showed that the Yamabe invariant is non-negative for all closed simply connected manifolds of…

We consider the Yamabe invariant of a compact orbifold with finitely many singular points. We prove a fundamental inequality for the estimate of the invariant from above, which also includes a criterion for the non-positivity of it.…

In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for a positive constant scalar curvature metric on a manifold with boundary to be a relative Yamabe metric, which is a natural relative version of the classical Yamabe metric. We also give…

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

We prove the existence of a solution of the Yamabe equation on complete manifolds with finite volume and positive Yamabe invariant. In order to circumvent the standard methods on closed manifolds which heavily rely on global (compact)…

We prove that the Yamabe invariant of any simply connected smooth manifold of dimension n greater than four is non-negative. Equivalently that the infimum of the L^{n/2} norm of the scalar curvature, over the space of all Riemannian metrics…

The Yamabe invariant is a diffeomorphism invariant of smooth compact manifolds that arises from the normalized Einstein-Hilbert functional. This article highlights the manner in which one compelling open problem regarding the Yamabe…

In this paper, we consider the Yamabe equation on a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold and find some geometric conditions on the manifold such that the Yamabe problem admits a bounded positive solution.

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…

We compute the Yamabe invariant for a class of symplectic 4-manifolds of general type obtained by taking the rational blowdown of Kahler surfaces. In particular, for any point on the half-Noether line we exhibit a simply connected minimal…

The Yamabe invariant is an invariant of a closed smooth manifold, which contains information about possible scalar curvature on it. It is well-known that a product manifold T^m\times B where T^m$ is the m-dimensional torus, and B is a…

We define an invariant for compact spin manifolds $X$ of dimension $4k$ equipped with a metric $h$ of positive Yamabe invariant on its boundary. The vanishing of this invariant is a necessary condition for the conformal class of $h$ to be…

The Yamabe Invariant of a smooth compact manifold is by definition the supremum of the scalar curvatures of unit-volume Yamabe metrics on the manifold. For an explicit infinite class of 4-manifolds, we show that this invariant is positive…

We study the Yamabe invariant of manifolds obtained as connected sums along submanifolds of codimension greater than 2. In particular, given a compact smooth manifold M which does not admit metrics of positive scalar curvature, we prove…

We study a particular class of open manifolds. In the category of Riemannian manifolds these are complete manifolds with cylindrical ends. We give a natural setting for the conformal geometry on such manifolds including an appropriate…

We obtain existence results for a class of fully nonlinear Yamabe-type problems on non-compact manifolds, addressing both the so-called positive and negative cases. We also give explicit examples of manifolds with warped product ends and…

We study the Yamabe problem on open manifolds of bounded geometry and show that under suitable assumptions there exist Yamabe metrics, i.e. conformal metrics of constant scalar curvature. For that, we use weighted Sobolev embeddings.

This paper concerns a fully nonlinear version of the Yamabe problem on manifolds with boundary. We establish some existence results and estimates of solutions.

For an asymptotically Poincare-Einstein manifold with a lower Ricci curvature bound, we establish a sharp inequality relating the type II Yamabe invariant of the interior and the Yamabe invariant of its conformal infinity

The Yamabe problem concerns finding a conformal metric on a given closed Riemannian manifold so that it has constant scalar curvature. This paper concerns mainly a fully nonlinear version of the Yamabe problem and the corresponding…
