Concentration on minimal submanifolds for a Yamabe type problem
  We construct solutions to a Yamabe type problem on a Riemannian manifold M without boundary and of dimension greater than 2, with nonlinearity close to higher critical Sobolev exponents. These solutions concentrate their mass around a non degenerate minimal submanifold of M, provided a certain geometric condition involving the sectional curvatures is satisfied. A connection with the solution of a class of P.D.E.'s on the submanifold with a singular term of attractive or repulsive type is established.
