Abstract:
We consider the conformal class of the Riemannian product , where is the constant curvature metric on and is a metric of constant scalar curvature on some closed manifold. We show that the number of metrics of constant scalar curvature in the conformal class grows at least linearly with respect to the square root of the scalar curvature of . This is obtained by studying radial solutions of the equation on and the number of solutions in terms of .
