Abstract

In this paper, we prove compactness for the full set of solutions to the Yamabe Problem if $n\leq 24$. After proving sharp pointwise estimates at a blowup point, we prove the Weyl Vanishing The- orem in those dimensions, and reduce the compactness question to showing positivity of a quadratic form. We also show that this quadratic form has negative eigenvalues if $n\leq 25$.
