Abstract

We study bifurcation for the constant scalar curvature equation along a one-parameter family of Riemannian metrics on the total space of a harmonic Riemannian submersion. We provide an existence theorem for bifurcation points and a criterion to see that the conformal factors corresponding to the bifurcated metrics must be indeed constant along the fibers. In the case of the canonical variation of a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers, we characterize discreteness of the set of all degeneracy points along the family and give a sufficient condition to guarantee that bifurcation necessarily occurs at every point where the linearized equation has a nontrivial solution. In the model case of quaternionic Hopf fibrations, we show that SU(2)-symmetry-breaking bifurcation does not occur except at the round metric.
