Schoen's Yamabe invariant conjecture for closed 3-manifolds

About 21 years old · traced to

Let MM be a closed 33-manifold that admits a constant-curvature metric hh. Here Y(M)Y(M) denotes the Yamabe invariant of MM, and E(h)E(h) denotes the normalized Einstein-Hilbert energy of hh. Schoen's conjecture. If MM admits a constant-curvature metric hh, then

Y(M)=E(h).Y(M)=E(h).

This conjecture concerns the relationship between the Yamabe invariant and constant-curvature metrics on closed 33-manifolds, and is described as one of the most fundamental unsolved problems related to Yamabe invariants.
