Equivariant Yamabe problem and Hebey-Vaugon conjecture

摘要

In their study of the Yamabe problem in the presence of isometry groups, E. Hebey and M. Vaugon announced a conjecture. This conjecture generalizes T. Aubin's conjecture, which has already been proven and is sufficient to solve the Yamabe problem. In this paper, we generalize Aubin's theorem and we prove the Hebey-Vaugon conjecture in dimensions less or equal to 37.
