Isoparametric hypersurfaces and metrics of constant scalar curvature

We showed the existence of non-radial solutions of the equation $\Delta u -\lambda u + \lambda u^q =0$ on the round sphere $S^m$, for $q<2m/(m-2)$, and study the number of such solutions in terms of $\lambda$. We show that for any isoparametric hypersurface $M\subset S^m$ there are solutions such that $M$ is a regular level set (and the number of such solutions increases with $\lambda$). We also show similar results for isoparametric hypersurfaces in general Riemannian manifolds. These solutions give multiplicity results for metrics of constant scalar curvature on conformal classes of Riemannian products.
