About the Uniqueness of Conformal Metrics with Prescribed Scalar and Mean Curvatures on Compact Manifolds with Boundary

Let (Mn, g) be an n—dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with boundary with n > 2. In this paper we study the uniqueness of metrics in the conformai class of the metric g having the same scalar curvature in M, dM, and the same mean curvature on the boundary of M, dM. We prove the equivalence of some uniqueness results replacing the hypothesis on the first Neumann eigenvalue of a linear elliptic problem associated to the problem of conformai deformations of metrics for one about the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of that problem. Keywords: Conformal metrics, scalar curvature, mean curvature.
