23 Local Yamabe constant of the edge-cone sphere (S n, h β ) Thm (Mondello [M]) Y (S n, [h β ]) = Y l (S n, [h β ]) = Y (R n, [δ β ]) = β 2/n Y n = E(h β ) if 0 < β 1 = Y n if β 1 In particular, h β : Yamabe metric on (S n, [h β ]) if 0 < β 1, not for β > 1 Main Thm (Non-exiatence) (Ak-Mondello [AM]) If β 2 (2πβ 4π), No Yamabe metric on (S n, [h β ])! Conjecture No Yamabe metric even if 1 < β < 2? at Hokkaido University, July /

24 Proof of Main Thm Aubin s Lemma ( M, [ g]) (M, [g]) : finite conf. covering & Y (M, [g]) > 0 Y ( M, [ g]) > Y (M, [g]) (Here, (M, g) is C ) Note proof! Existence of Yamabe metric on ( M, [ g]) is necessary for the Note Aubin s Lemma still holds for branced conf. double covering of (S n, [h β ]) (S n, [h β/2 ])! provided that (1) Existence of an edge-cone Yamabe metric u 4/(n 2) h β (u > 0) on (S n, [h β ]) (2) The following inequality holds : u hβ u dµ hβ S n = u 2 dµ hβ S n at Hokkaido University, July /

25 Proof of Main Thm (continuation) Suppose that (1) holds : ȟ β (β 2) : Yamabe metric on (S n, [h β ]) Set r(p) := dist hβ (p, S n 2 ). Then, by elliptic regularity result [ACM1, 2], on ε-open tubular neighborhood U ε = U ε (S n 2 ) u C 0,1/β (U ε ) & r u(r, θ, x) = O(r 1/β 1 ) as r 0 u hβ u dµ hβ + S n U ε u 2 dµ hβ = S n U ε u r udσ hβ = O(r 1/β ) 0 U ε as ε 0 Hence, we get (2), and thus Y (S n, [h β ]) > Y (S n, [h β/2 ]) On the other hand, by β > β/2 1, Modello s Thm implies that Y (S n, [h β ]) = Y n = Y (S n, [h β/2 ]) Contradiction!
