Yamabe's conjecture
Let be a closed manifold of dimension , and let be a Riemannian metric on . A metric on is conformally equivalent to if it lies in the conformal class of .
Yamabe's conjecture. There exists a metric on conformally equivalent to 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.
