Abstract

The Yamabe equation is one of the most natural and well-studied second-order semilinear elliptic equations arising in geometric variational problems. The existence theory is classical, while it follows from the works (Brendle, J Am Math Soc 21:951–979, 2008; Brendle and Marques, J Differ Geom 81:225–250, 2009) and (Khuri et al., J Differ Geom 81:143–196, 2009) that n = 25 is a critical dimension for compactness/noncompactness issues (or a priori estimates). In this survey article we review these results and discuss more recent related work on Yamabe-type problems.
