We consider the problem [Formula: see text] where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in ℝN, N ≥ 3, and [Formula: see text] is the critical Sobolev exponent. We assume that Ω is annular shaped, i.e. there are constants R2 > R1 > 0 such that {x ∈ ℝN : R1 < |x| < R2} ⊂ Ω and {x ∈ ℝN : |x| < R1}\Ω ≠ ∅. Coron [7] showed that there is one positive solution to this problem if R2/R1 is large enough. We establish the existence of at least two pairs of nontrivial solutions in this case. The proof combines a deformation argument on the Nehari manifold with cohomological information derived from Dold's fixed point transfer. To deal with the lack of compactness, an energy estimate recently proved by one of the authors is used.
