Extending Aubins construction of metrics with constant negative scalar curvature, we prove that every $n$-dimensional closed manifold admits a Riemannian metric with constant negative scalar-Weyl curvature, that is $R+t|W|, tinmathbb{R}$. In particular, there are no topological obstructions for metrics with $varepsilon$-pinched Weyl curvature and negative scalar curvature.

Motivated by the work of Li and Mantoulidis, we study singular metrics which are uniformly Euclidean $(L^infty)$ on a compact manifold $M^n$ ($nge 3$) with negative Yamabe invariant $sigma(M)$. It is well-known that if $g$ is a smooth metric on $M$ with unit volume and with scalar curvature $R(g)ge sigma(M)$, then $g$ is Einstein. We show, in all dimensions, the same is true for metrics with edge singularities with cone angles $leq 2pi$ along codimension-2 submanifolds. We also show in three dimension, if the Yamabe invariant of connected sum of two copies of $M$ attains its minimum, then the same is true for $L^infty$ metrics with isolated point singularities.
We consider conformal deformations within a class of incomplete Riemannian metrics which generalize conic orbifold singularities by allowing both warping and any compact manifold (not just quotients of the sphere) to be the link of the singular set. Within this class of conic metrics, we determine obstructions to the existence of conformal deformations to constant scalar curvature of any sign (positive, negative, or zero). For conic metrics with negative scalar curvature, we determine sufficient conditions for the existence of a conformal deformation to a conic metric with constant scalar curvature -1; moreover, we show that this metric is unique within its conformal class of conic metrics. Our work is in dimensions three and higher.
In [7], a notion of constant scalar curvature metrics on piecewise flat manifolds is defined. Such metrics are candidates for canonical metrics on discrete manifolds. In this paper, we define a class of vertex transitive metrics on certain triangulations of $mathbb{S}^3$; namely, the boundary complexes of cyclic polytopes. We use combinatorial properties of cyclic polytopes to show that, for any number of vertices, these metrics have constant scalar curvature.
We study the problem of deforming a Riemannian metric to a conformal one with nonzero constant scalar curvature and nonzero constant boundary mean curvature on a compact manifold of dimension $ngeq 3$. We prove the existence of such conformal metrics in the cases of $n=6,7$ or the manifold is spin and some other remaining ones left by Escobar. Furthermore, in the positive Yamabe constant case, by normalizing the scalar curvature to be $1$, there exists a sequence of conformal metrics such that their constant boundary mean curvatures go to $+infty$.
The scalar curvature equation for rotation invariant Kahler metrics on $mathbb{C}^n backslash {0}$ is reduced to a system of ODEs of order 2. By solving the ODEs, we obtain complete lists of rotation invariant zero or positive csck on $mathbb{C}^n backslash {0}$ in lower dimensions. We also prove that there does not exist negative csck on $mathbb{C}^n backslash {0}$ for $n=2,3$.
