Yamabe Invariants, Homogeneous Spaces, and Rational Complex Surfaces

The Yamabe invariant is a diffeomorphism invariant of smooth compact manifolds that arises from the normalized Einstein-Hilbert functional. This article highlights the manner in which one compelling open problem regarding the Yamabe invariant appears to be closely tied to static potentials and the f...

description The Yamabe invariant is a diffeomorphism invariant of smooth compact manifolds that arises from the normalized Einstein-Hilbert functional. This article highlights the manner in which one compelling open problem regarding the Yamabe invariant appears to be closely tied to static potentials and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.

The Yamabe invariant is a diffeomorphism invariant of smooth compact manifolds that arises from the normalized Einstein-Hilbert functional. This article highlights the manner in which one compelling open problem regarding the Yamabe invariant appears to be closely tied to static potentials and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.
It is a pleasure to dedicate this article to Jean-Pierre Bourguignon on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday. This research was supported in part by NSF grant DMS–2203572.
