We consider the problem of prescribing conformally the scalar curvature on compact manifolds of positive Yamabe class in dimension n ≥ 5. We prove new existence results using Morse theory and some analysis on blowing-up solutions, under suitable pinching conditions on the curvature function. We also provide new non-existence results showing the sharpness of some of our assumptions, both in terms of the dimension and of the Morse structure of the prescribed function.

Abstract

We consider the problem of prescribing conformally the scalar curvature on compact manifolds of positive Yamabe class in dimension n ≥ 5. We prove new existence results using Morse theory and some analysis on blowing-up solutions, under suitable pinching conditions on the curvature function. We also provide new non-existence results showing the sharpness of some of our assumptions, both in terms of the dimension and of the Morse structure of the prescribed function.
