The Yamabe invariant is a diffeomorphism invariant of smooth compact manifolds that arises from the normalized Einstein–Hilbert functional. This article highlights the manner in which one compelling open problem regarding the Yamabe invariant appears to be closely tied to static potentials and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.
Keywords: scalar curvature, Yamabe problem, diffeomorphism invariant.
