Abstract: Let (M,g) a compact Riemannian n-dimensional manifold with umbilic boundary. It is well know that, under certain hypothesis, in the conformal class of g there are scalar-flat metrics that have the boundary of M as a constant mean curvature hypersurface. In this paper we prove that these metrics are a compact set in the case of low dimensional manifolds, that is n=6,7,8, provided that the Weyl tensor is always not vanishing on the boundary.


The authors prove the compactness of the set of positive solutions to a Neumann type problem on a low dimensional manifold whose motivation comes from a generalization of the Riemann mapping theorem.
