In this paper, we consider the problem of the existence of conformal metrics with prescribed scalar curvature on the standard sphere S n, n ≥ 3. We give new existence and multiplicity results based on a new Euler-Hopf formula type. Our argument also has the advantage of extending well known results due to Y. Li [16].

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.
