Abstract

Let g(t) be a family of constant scalar curvature metrics on the total space of a Riemannian submersion obtained by shrinking the fibers of an original metric g, so that the submersion collapses as t -> 0 (that is, the total space converges to the base in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense). We prove that, under certain conditions, there are at least 3 unit volume constant scalar curvature metrics in the conformal class {[}g(t)] for infinitely many t accumulating at 0. This holds, for instance, for homogeneous metrics g(t) obtained via Cheeger deformation of homogeneous fibrations with fibers of positive scalar curvature. (AU)
