In this article we study the positivity of the 4-th order Paneitz operator for closed 3-manifolds. We prove that the connected sum of two such 3-manifold retains the same positivity property. We also solve the analogue of the Yamabe equation for such a manifold.

The paper represents the lectures given by the author at the 16th Winter School on Geometry and Physics, Srni, Czech Republic, January 13-20, 1996. He develops in an elegant manner the theory of conformal covariants and the theory of functional determinant which is canonically associated to an elliptic operator on a compact pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The presentation is excellently realized with a lot of details, examples and open problems.
