Abstract

Two examples are given of a sequence on a compact d-dimensional manifold (d ≥ 3) in a fixed conformal class satisfying a uniform L^(d/2) bound on curvature and a bound on volume which are not compact in a C⁰ topology. This shows that the curvature assumption of recent compactness results for conformal metrics is sharp.
