Abstract: Let (M,extitg,sigma) be an m-dimensional closed spin manifold, with a fixed Riemannian metric extitg and a fixed spin structure sigma; let mathbbS(M) be the spinor bundle over M. The spinorial Yamabe-type problems address the solvability of the following equation [ D_{ extit{g}}psi = f(x)|psi|_{ extit{g}}^{frac2{m-1}}psi, quad psi:M omathbb{S}(M), xin M ] where Dextitg is the associated Dirac operator and f:MomathbbR is a given function. The study of such nonlinear equation is motivated by its important applications in Spin Geometry: when m=2, a solution corresponds to a conformal isometric immersion of the universal covering widetildeM into mathbbR3 with prescribed mean curvature f; meanwhile, for general dimensions and fequivconstanteq0, a solution provides an upper bound estimate for the B"ar-Hijazi-Lott invariant. The aim of this paper is to establish non-compactness results related to the spinorial Yamabe-type problems. Precisely, concrete analysis is made for two specific models on the manifold (Sm,extitg) where the solution set of the spinorial Yamabe-type problem is not compact: 1). the geometric potential f is constant (say fequiv1) with the background metric extitg being a Ck perturbation of the canonical round metric extitgSm, which is not conformally flat somewhere on Sm; 2). f is a perturbation from constant and is of class C2, while the background metric extitgequivextitgSm.
