In this paper, we give various properties of the eigenvalues of the Yamabe operator $L_g$. In particular, we show how the second eigenvalue of $L_g$ is related to the existence of nodal solutions of the equation $L_g u = \\epsilon | u|^{N-2} u$, where $\\epsilon = +1, 0,$ or -1.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-04-05T16:19:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53A30", "35J60", "35P30", "58J50", "58C40" ], "keywords": [ "yamabe operator", "second eigenvalue", "applications", "compact riemannian manifold", "nodal solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.1268E" } } }
