Abstract: In this article we show that there exists a rational number $\mu$ , depending only on the dimension $n (\ge 5)$ of the manifold such that the $\mu$ th-power of the conformal factor is bounded in $H^2_2$ norm in terms of volume bound and the square norm bound of the scalar curvature of the conformal metrics. Some applications are also given.
