Multipeak solutions for some singularly perturbed nonlinear elliptic problems on Riemannian manifolds (Q1003158)

Let \((M, g)\) be a smooth, compact, \(N\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The authors prove that for any fixed positive integer \(K\) the problem \[ -\varepsilon^2\Delta_g u +u=u^{p-1}\;\text{in}\;M,\quad u > 0 \;\text{in}\;M \] has a \(K\)-peaks solution. Here \(p > 2\) if \(N = 2\) and \(2 < p < 2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}\) when \(N\geq 3.\) Moreover, the peaks collapse, as \(\varepsilon\to0,\) to an isolated local minimum point of the scalar curvature.
