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 $D_{extitg}$ 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 $mathbb{R}^3$ 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 $(S^m,extitg)$ 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 $C^k$ perturbation of the canonical round metric $extit{g}_{S^m}$, which is not conformally flat somewhere on $S^m$; $2).$ $f$ is a perturbation from constant and is of class $C^2$, while the background metric $extitgequivextit{g}_{S^m}$.
