Abstract: | Let be a compact manifold. First, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Riemannian metric on to be extremal for with respect to conformal deformations of fixed volume. In particular, these conditions show that for any lattice of , the flat metric induced on from the standard metric of is extremal (in the previous sense). In the second part, we give, for any , an upper bound of on the conformal class of and exhibit a class of lattices for which the metric maximizes on its conformal class. |
