Infinitely many nonradial solutions for the Hénon equation with critical growth (Q373508)

This paper is concerned with qualitative aspects of the Hénon equation \(\star\) with critical growth. Let \(\alpha\) denote the coefficient of \(| y|\) in \(\star\) and \(N\geq 4\) the dimension. First it is shown that for any \(\alpha >0\) there is a nonradial solution. Then, it is shown that \(\star\) has infinitely many nonradial solutions, with arbitrarily large energy. Green functions and contraction maps are used in the proofs.
