Although Yamabe (1960) claimed to have a solution in 1960, which was less than a year before his death, a critical errorin his proof was discovered by Trudinger (1968). The combined work of Neil Trudinger, Thierry Aubin, and Richard Schoen provided a complete solution to the problem as of 1984.The Yamabe problem is the following: given a smooth, compact manifold M of dimension n ≥ 3 with a Riemannian metric g, does there exist a metric g<div/>' conformal to g for which the scalar curvature of g<div/>' is constant? In other words, does a smooth function f exist on M for whichthe metric g<div/>' = e2fg has constant scalar curvature? The answer is now known to be yes, and was proved using techniques from differential geometry, functional analysis and partial differential equations.. }
