We study the fractional Schr\"odinger equations with a vanishing parameter: $$ (-\Delta)^s u+u =|u|^{p-2}u+\lambda|u|^{q-2}u \text{ in }\mathbb{R}^N,\quad u \in H^s(\mathbb{R}^N),$$ where $s\in(0,1)$, $N>2s$, $20$ is a vanishing parameter. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of positive ground state solutions for $\lambda$ small, when $p$ is subcritical, or critical Sobolev exponent $2_s^*$. For $p<2_s^*$, the ground state solution asymptotically coincides with unique positive ground state solution of $(-\Delta)^s u+u=u^p$, whereas for $p=2_s^*$ the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions, after a rescaling, is given by the unique positive solution of the nonlocal critical Emden-Fowler type equation. Additionally, for $\lambda>0$ small, we show the uniqueness and nondegeneracy of the positive ground state solution using these asymptotic profiles of solutions., Comment: 37 pages

On the hyperbolic space, we study a semilinear equation with non-autonomous nonlinearity having a critical Sobolev exponent. The Poincar\'e-Sobolev equation on the hyperbolic space explored by Mancini and Sandeep [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. 7 (2008)] resembles our equation. As seen from the profile decomposition of the energy functional associated with the problem, the concentration happens along two distinct profiles: localised Aubin-Talenti bubbles and hyperbolic bubbles. Standard variational arguments cannot obtain solutions because of nontrivial potential and concentration phenomena. As a result, a deformation-type argument based on the critical points at infinity of the associated variational problem has been carried out to obtain solution for $N>6.$ Conformal change of metric is used for proofs, enabling us to convert the original equation into a singular equation in a ball in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and perform a fine blow-up analysis.

For Grushin vector fields, we prove Hardy, Hardy-Rellich, and Rellich identities and inequalities with sharp constants. Our explicit remainder terms significantly improve those found in the literature. Our arguments build on abstract Hardy-Rellich identities involving the Bessel pair along with the use of spherical harmonics developed by Garofalo-Shen [Ann. Inst. Fourier (1994)]. Furthermore, in the spirit of Bez-Machihara-Ozawa [Math. Z (2023)], we construct spherical vector fields that correspond to the Grushin vector fields and prove identities that, in turn, establish optimal Rellich identities by comparing the Grushin operator with its radial and spherical components. We give alternate proofs of Hardy identities and inequalities with enhanced Hardy constants in some subspaces of the Sobolev space, among other things. Additionally, we compute the deficit involving $L^2$-norm of the Laplacian and radial components of the Laplacian for the Grushin operator with an explicit remainder term, which leads to a comparison of Laplacian with the radial components of the Laplacian. As a consequence of the main results, new second-order Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl uncertainty principles and Hydrogen uncertainty principles are also derived. Furthermore, we also derive certain symmetrization principles on the Grushin space., Comment: 39 pages

This paper deals with the global compactness and multiplicity of positive solutions to problems of the type $$ -\Delta_{\mathbb B^N} u -\lambda u=a(x) |u|^{2^*-2}u+f(x) \quad\text{in } \mathbb B^N, \quad u\in H^1(\mathbb B^N),$$ where $\mathbb B^N$ denotes the ball model of the hyperbolic space of dimension $N\geq 4$, $2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}$, $\frac{N(N-2)}{4}<\lambda<\frac{(N-1)^2}{4}$ and $f\in H^{-1}(\mathbb B^N)$ ($f\not\equiv 0$) is a non-negative functional in the dual space of $H^1(\mathbb B^N)$. The potential $a\in L^\infty(\mathbb B^N)$ is assumed to be strictly positive, such that $\lim_{ d(x,0)\to \infty}a(x)=1$, where $d(x,0)$ denotes the geodesic distance. We establish profile decomposition of the associated functional. We show that concentration takes place along two different profiles, namely along hyperbolic bubbles and localized Aubin-Talenti bubbles. For $f=0$ and $a\equiv 1$, profile decomposition was studied by Bhakta and Sandeep [Calc. Var. PDE, 2012]. However, due to the presence of $a(.)$, an extension of profile decomposition to the present set-up is highly nontrivial and requires several delicate estimates and geometric arguments concerning the isometry group (M\"obius group) of the hyperbolic space. Further, using the decomposition result, we derive various energy estimates involving the interacting hyperbolic bubbles and hyperbolic bubbles with localized Aubin-Talenti bubbles. Finally, combining these estimates with topological and variational arguments, we establish a multiplicity of positive solutions in the cases: $a\geq 1$ and $a<1$ separately. The equation studied in this article can be thought of as a variant of a scalar-field equation with a critical exponent in the hyperbolic space, although such a critical exponent problem in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^N$ has only a trivial solution when $f \equiv 0,$ $a(x)\equiv1$ and $\lambda < 0.$

We study the existence and non-existence of positive solutions for the following class of nonlinear elliptic problems in the hyperbolic space $$ -\Delta_{\mathbb{B}^N} u-\lambda u=a(x)u^{p-1} \, + \, \varepsilon u^{2^*-1} \,\;\;\text{in}\;\mathbb{B}^{N}, \quad u \in H^{1}{(\mathbb{B}^{N})}, $$ where $\mathbb{B}^N$ denotes the hyperbolic space, $2

A classical result owing to Mancini and Sandeep [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. 7 (2008)] asserts that all positive solutions of the Poincar\'e-Sobolev equation on the hyperbolic space $$ -\Delta_{\mathbb{B}^n} u-\lambda u = |u|^{p-1}u, \quad u\in H^1(\mathbb{B}^n), $$ are unique up to hyperbolic isometries where $n \geq 3,$ $1 < p \leq \frac{n+2}{n-2} $ and $\lambda \leq \frac{(n-1)^2}{4}.$ We prove under certain bounds on $\|\nabla u \|_{L^2(\mathbb{B}^n)}$ the inequality $$ \delta(u) \lesssim \|\Delta_{\mathbb{B}^n} u+ \lambda u + u^{p}\|_{H^{-1}}, $$ holds whenever $p >2$ and hence forcing the dimensional restriction $3 \leq n \leq 5,$ where $\delta(u)$ denotes the $H^1$ distance of $u$ from the manifold of sums of hyperbolic bubbles. Moreover, it fails for any $n \geq 3$ and $p \in (1,2].$ This strengthens the phenomenon observed in the Euclidean case that the (linear) quantitative stability estimate depends only on whether the exponent $p$ is $>2$ or $\leq 2$. In the critical case, our dimensional constraint coincides with the seminal result of Figalli and Glaudo [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal, 237 (2020)] but we notice a striking dependence on the exponent $p$ in the subcritical regime as well which is not present in the flat case. Our technique is an amalgamation of Figalli and Glaudo's method and builds upon a series of new and novel estimates on the interaction of hyperbolic bubbles and their derivatives and improved eigenfunction integrability estimates. Since the conformal group coincides with the isometry group of the hyperbolic space, we perceive a remarkable distinction in arguments and techniques to achieve our main results compared to that of the Euclidean case., Comment: 70 pages, 4 figures. This is the updated version of our previous submission arXiv:2211.14618. New results have been added e.g., Section 9 and Section 10. The main new result is contained in Theorem~9.1

We provide a complete classification with respect to asymptotic behaviour, stability and intersections properties of radial smooth solutions to the equation $-\Delta_g u=e^u$ on Riemannian model manifolds $(M,g)$ in dimension $N\ge 2$. Our assumptions include Riemannian manifolds with sectional curvatures bounded or unbounded from below. Intersection and stability properties of radial solutions are influenced by the dimension $N$ in the sense that two different kinds of behaviour occur when $2\leq N\le 9$ or $N\geq 10$, respectively. The crucial role of these dimensions in classifying solutions is well-known in Euclidean space., Comment: 26 pages

The paper is concerned with positive solutions to problems of the type \begin{equation*} -\Delta_{\mathbb{B}^N} u - \lambda u = a(x) |u|^{p-1}\;u \, + \, f \, \;\;\text{in}\;\mathbb{B}^{N}, \quad u \in H^{1}{(\mathbb{B}^{N})}, \end{equation*} where $\mathbb{B}^N$ denotes the hyperbolic space, $1 0.$ Subsequently, we establish the existence of two positive solutions for $a(x) \equiv 1$ and prove asymptotic estimates for positive solutions using barrier-type arguments. The proofs for existence combine variational arguments, key energy estimates involving hyperbolic bubbles.

Consider the Poincar\'e-Sobolev inequality on the hyperbolic space: for every $n \geq 3$ and $1 < p \leq \frac{n+2}{n-2},$ there exists a best constant $S_{n,p, \lambda}(\mathbb{B}^{n})>0$ such that $$S_{n, p, \lambda}(\mathbb{B}^{n})\left(~\int \limits_{\mathbb{B}^{n}}|u|^{{p+1}} \, {\rm d}v_{\mathbb{B}^n} \right)^{\frac{2}{p+1}} \leq\int \limits_{\mathbb{B}^{n}}\left(|\nabla_{\mathbb{B}^{n}}u|^{2}-\lambda u^{2}\right) \, {\rm d}v_{\mathbb{B}^n},$$ holds for all $u\in C_c^{\infty}(\mathbb{B}^n),$ and $\lambda \leq \frac{(n-1)^2}{4},$ where $\frac{(n-1)^2}{4}$ is the bottom of the $L^2$-spectrum of $-\Delta_{\mathbb{B}^n}.$ It is known from the results of Mancini and Sandeep [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. 7 (2008)] that under appropriate assumptions on $n,p$ and $\lambda$ there exists an optimizer, unique up to the hyperbolic isometries, attaining the best constant $S_{n,p,\lambda}(\mathbb{B}^n).$ In this article, we investigate the quantitative gradient stability of the above inequality and the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation locally around a bubble. Our result generalizes the sharp quantitative stability of Sobolev inequality in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of Bianchi-Egnell [J. Funct. Anal. 100 (1991)] and Ciraolo-Figalli-Maggi [Int. Math. Res. Not. IMRN 2018] to the Poincar\'{e}-Sobolev inequality on the hyperbolic space. Furthermore, combining our stability results and implementing a refined smoothing estimates, we prove a quantitative extinction rate towards its basin of attraction of the solutions of the sub-critical fast diffusion flow for radial initial data. In another application, we derive sharp quantitative stability of the Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities for the class of functions which are symmetric in the component of singularity.

We prove an improved version of Poincar\'e-Hardy inequality in suitable subspaces of the Sobolev space on the hyperbolic space via Bessel pairs. As a consequence, we obtain a new Hardy type inequality with an improved constant (than the usual Hardy constant). Furthermore, we derive a new kind of improved Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality on the hyperbolic space., Comment: 14 pages

We study the existence of positive solutions for the following class of scalar field problem on the hyperbolic space $$ -\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^N} u - \lambda u = a(x) |u|^{p-1} \, u\;\;\text{in}\;\mathbb{B}^{N}, \quad u \in H^{1}{(\mathbb{B}^{N})}, $$ where $\mathbb{B}^N$ denotes the hyperbolic space, $1

Let $P$ be a linear, second-order, elliptic operator with real coefficients defined on a noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ and satisfies $P1=0$ in $M$. Assume further that $P$ admits a minimal positive Green function in $M$. We prove that there exists a smooth positive function $\rho$ defined on $M$ such that $M$ is stochastically incomplete with respect to the operator $ P_{\rho} := \rho \, P $, that is, \[ \int_{M} k_{P_{\rho}}^{M}(x, y, t) \ {\rm d}y < 1 \qquad \forall (x, t) \in M \times (0, \infty), \] where $k_{P_{\rho}}^{M}$ denotes the minimal positive heat kernel associated with $P_{\rho}$. Moreover, $M$ is $L^1$-Liouville with respect to $P_{\rho}$ if and only if $M$ is $L^1$-Liouville with respect to $P$. In addition, we study the interplay between stochastic completeness and the $L^1$-Liouville property of the skew product of two second-order elliptic operators., Comment: 15 pages

We consider the following Cauchy problem for the semi linear heat equation on the hyperbolic space: \begin{align}\label{abs:eqn} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} \partial_{t}u=\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^{n}} u+ f(u, t) &\hbox{ in }~ \mathbb{H}^{n}\times (0, T),\\ \\ \quad u =u_{0} &\hbox{ in }~ \mathbb{H}^{n}\times \{0\}. \end{array}\right. \end{align} We study Fujita phenomena for the non-negative initial data $u_0$ belonging to $C(\mathbb{H}^{n}) \cap L^{\infty}(\mathbb{H}^{n})$ and for different choices of $f$ of the form $f(u,t) = h(t)g(u).$ It is well-known that for power nonlinearities in $u,$ the power weight $h(t) = t^q$ is sub-critical in the sense that non-negative global solutions exist for small initial data. On the other hand, it exhibits Fujita phenomena for the exponential weight $h(t) = e^{\mu t},$ i.e. there exists a critical exponent $\mu^*$ such that if $\mu > \mu^*$ then all non-negative solutions blow-up in finite time and if $\mu \leq \mu^*$ there exists non-negative global solutions for small initial data. One of the main objectives of this article is to find an appropriate nonlinearity in $u$ so that the above mentioned Cauchy problem with the power weight $h(t) = t^q$ does exhibit Fujita phenomena. In the remaining part of this article, we study Fujita phenomena for exponential nonlinearity in $u.$ We further generalize some of these results to Cartan-Hadamard manifolds.

We study the existence/nonexistence and qualitative properties of the positive solutions to the problem \begin{align*} (-\Delta)^s u -\theta\frac{u}{|x|^{2s}}&=u^p - u^q \quad\text{in }\,\, \mathbb{R}^N,\quad u > 0 \quad\text{in }\,\, \mathbb{R}^N, \quad u \in \dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^N)\cap L^{q+1}(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{align*} where $s\in (0,1)$, $N>2s$, $q>p\geq{(N+2s)}/{(N-2s)}$, $\theta\in(0, \Lambda_{N,s})$ and $\Lambda_{N,s}$ is the sharp constant in the fractional Hardy inequality. For qualitative properties of the solutions we mean, both the radial symmetry that is obtained by using the moving plane method in a nonlocal setting on the whole $\mathbb{R}^N$, and upper bound behavior of the solutions. To this last end we use a representation result that allows us to transform the original problem into a new nonlocal problem in a weighted fractional space., Comment: 25 pages

We prove a family of Hardy-Rellich and Poincar\'e identities and inequalities on the hyperbolic space having, as particular cases, improved Hardy-Rellich, Rellich and second order Poincar\'e inequalities. All remainder terms provided considerably improve those already known in literature, and all identities hold with same constants for radial operators also. Furthermore, as applications of the main results, second order versions of the uncertainty principle on the hyperbolic space are derived., Comment: 22 Pages

We consider the nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation of porous medium type, whose diffusion is driven by the (spectral) fractional Laplacian on the hyperbolic space. We provide existence results for solutions, in an appropriate weak sense, for data belonging either to the usual $L^p$ spaces or to larger (weighted) spaces determined either in terms of a ground state of $\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^n}$, or of the (fractional) Green's function. For such solutions, we also prove different kind of smoothing effects, in the form of quantitative $L^1-L^\infty$ estimates. To the best of our knowledge, this seems the first time in which the fractional porous medium equation has been treated on non-compact, geometrically non-trivial examples.

We prove second and fourth order improved Poincar\'e type inequalities on the hyperbolic space involving Hardy-type remainder terms. Since theirs l.h.s. only involve the radial part of the gradient or of the laplacian, they can be seen as stronger versions of the classical Poincar\'e inequality. We show that such inequalities hold true on model manifolds as well, under suitable curvature assumptions and sharpness of some constants is also discussed., Comment: 20 pages

We study existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of the following class of nonlocal scalar field equations: \begin{equation} \tag{$\mathcal{P}$} \left\{\begin{aligned} (-\Delta)^s u + u &= a(x) |u|^{p-1}u+f(x)\;\;\text{in}\;\mathbb{R}^{N}, u &\in H^{s}{(\mathbb{R}^{N})} \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation} where $s \in (0,1)$, $N>2s$, $1

Our main aim is to study Green function for the fractional Hardy operator $P:=(-\Delta)^s -\frac{\theta}{|x|^{2s}}$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, where $0<\theta<\Lambda_{N,s}$ and $\Lambda_{N,s}$ is the best constant in the fractional Hardy inequality. Using Green function, we also show that the integral representation of the weak solution holds., Comment: 16 pages

We consider a partially hinged rectangular plate and its normal modes. The dynamical properties of the plate are influenced by the spectrum of the associated eingenvalue problem. In order to improve the stability of the plate, it seems reasonable to place a certain amount of stiffening material in appropriate regions. If we look at the partial differential equation appearing in the model, this corresponds to insert a suitable weight coefficient inside the equation. A possible way to locate such regions is to study the eigenvalue problem associated to the aforementioned weighted equation. In the present paper we focus our attention essentially on the first eigenvalue and on its minimization in terms of the weight. We prove the existence of minimizing weights inside special classes and we try to describe them together with the corresponding eigenfunctions., Comment: 25 pages, 5 figures

We present some new results concerning perturbation theory for positive solutions of second-order linear elliptic operators, including further study of the equivalence of positive minimal Green functions and the validity of a Liouville comparison principle for nonsymmetric operators., Comment: 26 pages

We prove a family of improved multipolar Poincar\'e-Hardy inequalities on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. For suitable configurations of poles, these inequalities yield an improved multipolar Hardy inequality and an improved multipolar Poincar\'e inequality such that the critical unipolar singular mass is reached at any pole., Comment: 15 Pages

We prove \emph{optimal} improvements of the Hardy inequality on the hyperbolic space. Here, optimal means that the resulting operator is critical in the sense of [J.Funct.Anal. 266 (2014), pp. 4422-89], namely the associated inequality cannot be further improved. Such inequalities arise from more general, \emph{optimal} ones valid for the operator $ P_{\lambda}:= -\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^N} - \lambda$ where $0 \leq \lambda \leq \lambda_{1}(\mathbb{H}^N)$ and $\lambda_{1}(\mathbb{H}^N)$ is the bottom of the $L^2$ spectrum of $-\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^N} $, a problem that had been studied in [J.Funct.Anal. 272 (2017), pp. 1661-1703 ] only for the operator $P_{\lambda_{1}(\mathbb{H}^N)}$. A different, critical and new inequality on $\mathbb{H}^N$, locally of Hardy type, is also shown. Such results have in fact greater generality since there are shown on general Cartan-Hadamard manifolds under curvature assumptions, possibly depending on the point. Existence/nonexistence of extremals for the related Hardy-Poincar\'e inequalities are also proved using concentration-compactness technique and a Liouville comparison theorem. As applications of our inequalities we obtain an improved Rellich inequality and we derive a quantitative version of Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl uncertainty principle for the operator $P_\lambda.$, Comment: Final Version

We present certain Liouville properties of eigenfunctions of second-order elliptic operators with real coefficients, via an approach that is based on stochastic representations of positive solutions, and criticality theory of second-order elliptic operators. These extend results of Y. Pinchover to the case of nonsymmetric operators of Schr\"odinger type. In particular, we provide an answer to an open problem posed by Pinchover in [Comm. Math. Phys. 272 (2007), no. 1, 75-84, Problem 5]. In addition, we prove a lower bound on the decay of positive supersolutions of general second-order elliptic operators in any dimension, and discuss its implications to the Landis conjecture., Comment: 33 pages

We investigate the possibility of improving the $p$-Poincar\'e inequality $\|\nabla_{\mathbb{H}^N} u\|_p \ge \Lambda_p \|u\|_p$ on the hyperbolic space, where $p>2$ and $\Lambda_p:=[(N-1)/p]^{p}$ is the best constant for which such inequality holds. We prove several different, and independent, improved inequalities, one of which is a Poincar\'e-Hardy inequality, namely an improvement of the best $p$-Poincar\'e inequality in terms of the Hardy weight $r^{-p}$, $r$ being geodesic distance from a given pole. Certain Hardy-Maz'ya-type inequalities in the Euclidean half-space are also obtained., Comment: File conformal to the printed one. Appeared in Nonlinear Analysis

Let P be a second-order, linear, elliptic operator with real coefficients which is defined on a noncompact and connected Riemannian manifold M. It is well known that the equation Pu = 0 in M admits a positive supersolution which is not a solution if and only if P admits a unique positive minimal Green function on M, and in this case, P is said to be subcritical in M. If P does not admit a positive Green function but admits a global positive solution, then such a solution is called a ground state of P in M, and P is said to be critical in M. We prove for a critical operator P in M, the existence of a Green function which is dominated above by the ground state of P away from the singularity. Moreover, in a certain class of Green functions, such a Green function is unique, up to an addition of a product of the ground states of P and P^{\star}. Under some further assumptions, we describe the behaviour at infinity of such a Green function. This result extends and sharpens the celebrated result of P. Li and L.-F. Tam concerning the existence of a symmetric Green function for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a smooth and complete Riemannian manifold M., Comment: Some new results added and Lemma 3.1 is modified

Let $P$ be a second-order, symmetric, and nonnegative elliptic operator with real coefficients defined on noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$, and let $V$ be a real valued function which belongs to the class of {\em small perturbation potentials} with respect to the heat kernel of $P$ in $M$. We prove that under some further assumptions (satisfying by a large classes of $P$ and $M$) the positive minimal heat kernels of $P-V$ and of $P$ on $M$ are equivalent. Moreover, the parabolic Martin boundary is stable under such perturbations, and the cones of all nonnegative solutions of the corresponding parabolic equations are affine homeomorphic, Comment: Proposition 6.6 and example 7.14 are added. The proof of Theorem 6.2 is modified

The paper deals about Hardy-type inequalities associated with the following higher order Poincar\'e inequality: $$ \left( \frac{N-1}{2} \right)^{2(k -l)} := \inf_{ u \in C_{c}^{\infty} \setminus \{0\}} \frac{\int_{\mathbb{H}^{N}} |\nabla_{\mathbb{H}^{N}}^{k} u|^2 \ dv_{\mathbb{H}^{N}}}{\int_{\mathbb{H}^{N}} |\nabla_{\mathbb{H}^{N}}^{l} u|^2 \ dv_{\mathbb{H}^{N}} }\,, $$ where $0 \leq l < k$ are integers and $\mathbb{H}^{N}$ denotes the hyperbolic space. More precisely, we improve the Poincar\'e inequality associated with the above ratio by showing the existence of $k$ Hardy-type remainder terms. Furthermore, when $k = 2$ and $l = 1$ the existence of further remainder terms are provided and the sharpness of some constants is also discussed. As an application, we derive improved Rellich type inequalities on upper half space of the Euclidean space with non-standard remainder terms., Comment: 17 pages

We study Hardy-type inequalities associated to the quadratic form of the shifted Laplacian $-\Delta_{\mathbb H^N}-(N-1)^2/4$ on the hyperbolic space ${\mathbb H}^N$, $(N-1)^2/4$ being, as it is well-known, the bottom of the $L^2$-spectrum of $-\Delta_{\mathbb H^N}$. We find the optimal constant in the resulting Poincar\'e-Hardy inequality, which includes a further remainder term which makes it sharp also locally. A related inequality under suitable curvature assumption on more general manifolds is also shown. Similarly, we prove Rellich-type inequalities associated with the shifted Laplacian, in which at least one of the constant involved is again sharp., Comment: Final version. To appear in JFA

We consider semilinear elliptic problems on two-dimensional hyperbolic space involving critical growth. We first establish the Palais-Smale(P-S) condition and using (P-S) condition we obtain existence of solutions. In addition, we also explore existence of infinitely many sign changing solutions as well., Comment: Some new results added

In this article we will study the existence, multiplicity and Morse index of sign changing solutions for the Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya(HSM) equation in bounded domain and involving critical growth. We obtain infinitely many sign changing solutions for HSM equation. We also establish an estimate on the Morse index for the sign changing solutions., Comment: 12 pages, Advances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2014

In this article we will study the nondegeneracy properties of positive finite energy solutions of a semilinear elliptic equation in the N-dimensional Hyperbolic space. We will show that the degeneracy occurs only in an N dimensional subspace. We will prove that the positive solutions are nondegenerate in the case of geodesic balls.

In this article we will study the existence and nonexistence of sign changing solutions for the Brezis-Nirenberg type problem in the Hyperbolic space. We will also establish sharp asymptotic estimates for the solutions and the compactness properties of solutions.
