Asymptotics of the Poisson kernel and Green's functions of the fractional conformal Laplacian (Q2171898)

The article is concerned with the study of fractional conformal Laplace operators on asymptotic hyperbolic manifolds. These are pseudodifferential operators that generalise the classical conformal Laplace operators in this setting and allow one to define the notion of fractional scalar curvature. Motivated by the fractional Yamabe problem, which relies, as the classical one, on a solid knowledge of the (fractional) conformal Laplace operator, the authors study the existence, the regularity and some asymptotic problems regarding the fractional conformal Laplacian. Their main result is that the Poisson kernel and the Green function for the fractional conformal Laplacian exist. Moreover, they provide an asymptotic formula in Fermi coordinates of the hyperbolic boundary. They can sharpen their results if the boundary manifold is additionally assumed to be Poincaré-Einstein. The authors provide a comprehensive introduction for their notations and conventions in Section 2. Section 3 introduces a non-homogeneous scattering operator and discusses its conformal properties. In Section 4 the main is proved. The authors derive the Poisson kernel and the Green function for an auxiliary differential operator and use such an intermediated step to calculate the Green function for the fractional conformal Laplace operator. They also provide asymptotic formulas for all three functions. Using results from Section 3, Section 5 sharpens the results of Section 4 under the additional assumption that the asymptotic hyperbolic manifold is Poincaré-Einstein.
