Assume that M is a compact n-dimensional manifold and that N is obtained by surgery along a k-dimensional sphere, k≤n-3. The smooth Yamabe invariants σ(M) and σ(N) satisfy σ(N)≥ min (σ(M),Λ) for Λ>0. We derive explicit lower bounds for Λ in dimensions where previous methods failed, namely for (n,k)∈{(4,1),(5,1),(5,2),(6,3),(9,1),(10,1)}. With methods from surgery theory and bordism theory several gap phenomena for smooth Yamabe invariants can be deduced.
Small typo in the published version
- In Example 4.12 the conclusion should be: "and we conclude that Λ6,3 >49.98"
In the pdf-version above we have corrected this obvious typo.
