Yamabe's conjecture

Let XX be a closed manifold of dimension d3d\geq 3, and let g0g_0 be a Riemannian metric on XX. A metric gg on XX is conformally equivalent to g0g_0 if it lies in the conformal class of g0g_0.

Yamabe's conjecture. There exists a metric gg on XX conformally equivalent to g0g_0 and having constant scalar curvature.

Yamabe's conjecture asks for a constant-scalar-curvature representative in every conformal class on a closed manifold of dimension at least three. It was confirmed by the work of Trudinger, Aubin, and Schoen.
