§ 3 The standard edge-cone Einstein metrics on Sn

In particular, hβ : Yamabe metric on (Sn, [hβ]) if 0 < β ≤ 1, not for β > 1 Main Thm (Non-exiatence) (Ak-Mondello [AM])

If β ≥ 2 (2πβ ≥ 4π), No Yamabe metric on (Sn, [hβ]) !

Conjecture

No Yamabe metric even if 1 < β < 2 ? Kazuo AKUTAGAWA (Chuo University) (MSJ-SI 2018 The Role of Metrics in the Theory of PDEs)Edge-cone Einstein metrics and Yamabe metrics


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 Existence of Yamabe metric on (M, [g ]) is necessary for theproof !

Note Aubin’s Lemma still holds for branced conf. double covering of(Sn, [hβ]) → (Sn, [hβ/2]) !

provided that

(1) Existence of an edge-cone Yamabe metric u4/(n−2) · hβ (u > 0) on (Sn, [hβ])

(2) The following inequality holds :∫Sn

u ·∆hβu dµhβ = −∫Sn

|∇u|2dµhβ


1

Proof of Main Thm (continuation)

Suppose that (1) holds : ∃hβ (β ≥ 2) : Yamabe metric on (Sn, [hβ])

Set r(p) := disthβ (p,Sn−2). Then, by elliptic regularity result [ACM1, 2],

on ε-open tubular neighborhood Uε = Uε(Sn−2)

u ∈ C 0,1/β(Uε) & ∂ru(r , θ, x) = O(r1/β−1) as r 0

∫Sn−Uε

u∆hβu dµhβ +

∫Sn−Uε

|∇u|2dµhβ =

∫∂Uε

u ∂rudσhβ = O(r1/β) 0

as ε 0

Hence, we get (2), and thus Y (Sn, [hβ]) > Y (Sn, [hβ/2])

On the other hand, by β > β/2 ≥ 1, Modello’s Thm implies that

Y (Sn, [hβ]) = Yn = Y (Sn, [hβ/2]) Contradiction ! QED
