A compactness theorem for conformal metrics with constant scalar curvature and constant boundary mean curvature in dimension three

Abstract

On a compact three-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove the compactness of the full set of conformal metrics with positive constant scalar curvature and constant mean curvature on the boundary. This involves a blow-up analysis of a Yamabe equation with critical Sobolev exponents both in the interior and on the boundary.
