They have verified the conjecture for $p\\leq3$. In this paper, we first simplify this conjecture by giving two sufficient and necessary conditions inductively. Then we prove the conjecture for the basic case $m=1$ with arbitrary $p$. In addition, for the cases when $p=4,5$ and $m\\geq2$, we manage to reduce them to the basic case $m=1$ and thus prove them as well.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-25T11:48:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "conjecture", "basic case", "yamabe changing-sign problem", "universal inequality", "necessary conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
