Notes on the uniqueness of Type II Yamabe metrics

Abstract

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of type II Yamabe metrics in conformal classes on a compact connected manifold with boundary, and we investigate Obata-type theorems for type II Yamabe metrics. In particular, we establish a theorem which gives a sufficient condition for a metric to be the unique Type II Yamabe metric in its conformal class. We also prove the corresponding theorem for the CR Yamabe problem on closed manifolds.
