摘要

We consider the Yamabe invariant of a compact orbifold with finitely many singular points. We prove a fundamental inequality for the estimate of the invariant from above, which also includes a criterion for the non-positivity of it. Moreover, we give a sufficient condition for the equality in the inequality. In order to prove it, we also solve the orbifold Yamabe problem under a certain condition. We use these results to give some exact computations of the Yamabe invariant of compact orbifolds.
