Schoen's Weyl-vanishing conjecture for Yamabe blow-up points
Schoen's Weyl-vanishing conjecture for Yamabe blow-up points
Let be a Riemannian manifold of dimension , and let be a sequence of solutions to the Yamabe problem. A point is a blow-up point if it is a blow-up point of this sequence. Set
Schoen's Weyl-vanishing conjecture. If is a blow-up point, then the Weyl tensor of vanishes at to order ; equivalently,
This conjecture concerns the geometric restrictions imposed on possible blow-up points in the Yamabe problem. The compactness conjecture was known in the locally conformally flat and three-dimensional cases, and had been proved in dimensions and ; dimensions were described as more subtle because the associated asymptotically flat metric need not have a well-defined ADM mass without suitable Weyl-tensor vanishing.
