Résumé

We construct sequences of sign-changing solutions for some conformally invariant semilinear elliptic equation which is defined $S^n$, when $n\ge 4$. The solutions we obtain have large energy and concentrate along some special submanifolds of $S^n$. For example, for $n\ge 4$ we obtain sequences of solutions whose energy concentrates along one great circle or finitely many great circles which are linked to each other (and they correspond to Hopf links embedded in $S^3\times \left\{0\right\}\subset S^n$). In dimension $n\ge 5$ we obtain sequences of solutions whose energy concentrates along a two-dimensional torus (which corresponds to a Clifford torus embedded in $S^3\times \left\{0\right\}\subset S^n$).
