Abstract: We study the existence of non--trivial solutions to the Yamabe equation: -Delta u+ a(x)= mu u|u|^frac4{n-2} hbox{} mu >0, xin Omega subset {mathbf R}^n hbox{with} ngeq 4, u(x)=0 hbox{on} partial Omega under weak regularity assumptions on the potential a(x). More precisely in dimension ngeq5 we assume that: �egin{enumerate} item a(x) belongs to the Lorentz space Lfracn2,d(Omega) for some 1leqd<infty, item a(x)leqM<inftyhboxa.e.xinOmega, item the set xinOmega|a(x)<0 has positive measure, item there exists c>0 such that int_Omega (|

abla u|^2 + a(x) |u|^2) hbox{} dx geq cint_Omega | abla u|^2 hbox{} dx hbox{} forall uin H^1_0(Omega). end{enumerate}

oindent In dimension n=4 the hypothesis (2) above is replaced by a(x)leq 0 hbox{} a.e. hbox{} xin Omega.
