Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to establish the existence, nonexistence and symmetry of nontrivial solutions to the higher order Brezis-Nirenberg problems associated with the GJMS operators Pk on bounded domains in the hyperbolic space mathbbHn and as well as on the entire hyperbolic space mathbbHn. Among other techniques, one of our main novelties is to use crucially the Helgason-Fourier analysis on hyperbolic spaces and the higher order Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities and careful study of delicate properties of Green's functions of Pk−lambda on hyperbolic spaces which are of independent interests in dealing with such problems. Such Green's functions allow us to obtain the integral representations of solutions and thus to avoid using the maximum principle to establish the symmetry of solutions.


Let \({\mathbb H}^n\) be the hyperbolic space, \(P_k\) be the he GJMS operator and \(\nabla_{{\mathbb H}^n}\) be the hyperbolic gradient. In this paper the authors study the existence, nonexistence and symmetry of nontrivial solutions for an equation of type\[\left\{\begin{array}{lll}P_ku=\lambda u+|u|^{\frac{2k}{n-2k}}u, & { in}\; \Omega,\\ \nabla^\alpha_{{\mathbb H}^n}u=0,& {on}\; \partial \Omega,\\ \alpha=0,...,k-1,\end{array}\right. \tag{1}\]where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \({\mathbb H}^n\) with boundary of class \(C^1\). A similar problem is also investigated in the entire hyperbolic space \({\mathbb H}^n\). The results from this paper complement those obtained by \textit{H. Brézis} and \textit{L. Nirenberg} [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 36, 437--477 (1983; Zbl 0541.35029)] when the hyperbolic space \({\mathbb H}^n\) is replaced by the Euclidean space \({\mathbb R}^n\) and \(P_k\) is replaced by the Laplace operator.
