The author studies the question whether a given smooth function K on \(S^ n\) is the scalar curvature of a metric conformal to the standard metric. Not all functions can be realized - obstructions have been found by Kazdan-Warner and Bourguignon-Ezin. The author gives various sufficient conditions, related to work of Escobar and Schoen, for a positive answer to the question.
