Abstract: We consider the Hardy-Schr"odinger operator $-Delt{a}_{mathbb{B}^n}-gamma{V}_2$ on the Poincar'e ball model of the Hyperbolic space $mathbb{B}^n$ ($ngeq3$). Here $V_2$ is a well chosen radially symmetric potential, which behaves like the Hardy potential around its singularity at $0$, i.e., $V_2(r)simfrac1r^2$. Just like in the Euclidean setting, the operator $-Delt{a}_{mathbb{B}^n}-gamma{V}_2$ is positive definite whenever $gamma<frac(n-2{)}^{2}4$, in which case we exhibit explicit solutions for the equation ${\displaystyle }$-Delta_{mathbb{B}^n}u-gamma{V_2}u=V_{2^*(s)}u^{2^*(s)-1}quad{ ext{ in }}mathbb{B}^n,${\displaystyle }$ where $0leqs<2$, $2^{\ast }(s)=frac2(n-s)n-2$, and $V_{2^{\ast }(s)}$ is a weight that behaves like $frac1r^s$ around $0$. The same equation, on bounded domains $Omega$ of $mathbb{B}^n$ containing $0$ but not touching the hyperbolic boundary, has positive solutions if $0<gammaleqfrac(n-2{)}^{2}4-frac14$. However, if $frac(n-2{)}^{2}4-frac14<gamma<frac(n-2{)}^{2}4$, the existence of solutions requires the positivity of the "hyperbolic Hardy mass" $m_{{}_{mathbb{B}^n}}(Omega)$ of the domain, a notion that we introduce and analyse therein.

Review text

The Hardy-Schrödinger operator \(L_\gamma=-\Delta_{\mathbb{B}^n}-\gamma V_2\) is considered on the Poincaré ball model of the hyperbolic space \(\mathbb{B}^n\) with \(n\geq 3\). More precisely, the Euclidean unit ball \(B_1(0)=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^n:|x|<1\}\) endowed with the metric \[ g_{\mathbb{B}^n}=\left(\frac{2}{1-|x|^2}\right)^2g_{\text{Eucl}} \] is considered. Here, \(V_2\) is a given radial symmetric potential which is assumed to behave like the Hardy potential around its singularity at the origin; that is, \(V_2(r)\sim 1/r^2\). It is shown that \(L_\gamma\) is positive definite whenever \(\gamma<(n-2)^2/4\). In this case, the authors establish explicit solutions for the critical equation \[ L_\gamma u=V_{2^\ast(s)}u^{2^\ast(s)-1} \] in \(\mathbb{B}^n\) with \(0\leq s<2\), \(2^\ast(s)=2(n-2)/(n-2)\), and \(V_{2^\ast(s)}\) is a weight that behaves like \(1/r^s\) around the origin. The authors establish a ground state solution for \(n\geq 5\) for the equation \[ L_\gamma u-\lambda u=V_{2^\ast(s)}u^{2^\ast(s)-1} \] in a domain \(\Omega\) of \(\mathbb{B}^n\) away from the boundary that contains the origin assuming \(0<\gamma\leq n(n-4)/4\) and \(\lambda>\frac{n-2}{n-4}\left(n(n-4)/4-\gamma\right)\). For the special case \(n=3\) and \(n=4\), the authors show the existence of solutions under the assumption that the domain under consideration has a positive hyperbolic mass.
