We prove existence of positive solutions for the equation - g 0 u + u = 1 + ϵ K x u 2 * - 1 on S n , arising in the prescribed scalar curvature problem. is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on S n , 2 is the critical Sobolev exponent, and ϵ is a small parameter. The problem can be reduced to a finite dimensional study which is performed with Morse theory.
