Following the previous note about the work of Trudinger, today we talk about the work of Aubin regarding to the Yamabe problem, that is the following simple PDE
In his elegant paper entitlde “Équations différentielles non linéaires et problème de Yamabe concernant la courbure scalaire” published in J. Math. Pures Appl. in 1976, Aubin proved the existence for almost all manifolds for 
By using the notations used in the note about the work of Yamabe, they are

Aubin proved that

satisfies
then the Yamabe problem is solvable where

.
In fact, he proved a stronger result saying that in any case, there holds
and the equality occurs if and only if 
To conclude the paper, Aubin proved the following
Theorem. If

Therefore, the cases that
