“…We showed that there is a countable subset S ⊂ (0, ∞) of instants such that, for all instants s ∈ (0, ∞)\S, the family {g s } s>0 is rigid, that is, save homotheties, there exists local uniqueness of solution of the Yamabe problem in the normalized conformal classes of the corresponding metrics g s . On the other hand, proposing a natural extension of bifurcation theorem of [20], we proved that, except for a finite number of instants, all the others s * ∈ S are bifurcation instants, i.e. there is a sequence of solutions g sn of the Yamabe problem converging to g s * , each of which represents a second solution of the Yamabe problem in the correspondent g s -normalized conformal class.…”
