Local behavior of positive solutions of higher order conformally invariant equations with a singular set

Abstract: We study some properties of positive solutions to the higher order conformally invariant equation with a singular set

(-Delta)^m u = u^{frac{n+2m}{n-2m}} ~~~~~~ extmd{in} ~ Omega �ackslash Lambda,

where

O m e g a s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

is an open domain,

L a m b d a

is a closed subset of

m a t h b b R^{n}

,

1 l e q m < n / 2

and

m

is an integer. We first establish an asymptotic blow up rate estimate for positive solutions near the singular set

L a m b d a

when

L a m b d a s u b s e t O m e g a

is a compact set with the upper Minkowski dimension

o v e r l i n e {e x t m d d i m}_{M} (L a m b d a) < f r a c n - 2 m 2

, or is a smooth

k

-dimensional closed manifold with

k l e q f r a c n - 2 m 2

. We also show the asymptotic symmetry of singular positive solutions suppose

L a m b d a s u b s e t O m e g a

is a smooth

k

-dimensional closed manifold with

k l e q f r a c n - 2 m 2

. Finally, a global symmetry result for solutions is obtained when

O m e g a

is the whole space and

L a m b d a

is a

k

-dimensional hyperplane with

k l e q f r a c n - 2 m 2

.
