Yamabe product conjecture for and
Yamabe product conjecture for and
Let be a Yamabe metric with , normalized by . Let on , and let denote the function from the Yamabe ordinary differential equation that depends only on . The Yamabe constant and the Yamabe invariant are defined by the corresponding conformal and metric infima.
Yamabe product conjecture. The Yamabe constant is minimized by , and
which implies
In particular,
The conjecture proposes a quantitative relation between Yamabe constants of a manifold and its product with a circle, and would determine the Yamabe invariant of . The source gives a partial affirmative result via a theorem of Petean, but does not state that the conjecture has been resolved.
