I will present an algebraic characterization of the conformal classes realizing a compact manifold’s Yamabe invariant (if any such classes exist). This characterization is a nonlinear analogue of an observation of Nadirashvili for metrics realizing the maximal first eigenvalue, and of an observation of Fraser and Schoen for metrics realizing the maximal first Steklov eigenvalue.
