Abstract: We study the existence and nonexistence of positive (super-)solutions to a singular semilinear elliptic equation -

ablacdot(|x|^A

abla u)-B|x|^{A-2}u=C|x|^{A-sigma}u^p in cone--like domains of RN (Nge2), for the full range of parameters A,B,sigma,pinR and C>0. We provide a complete characterization of the set of (p,sigma)inR2 such that the equation has no positive (super-)solutions, depending on the values of A,B and the principle Dirichlet eigenvalue of the cross--section of the cone. The proofs are based on the explicit construction of appropriate barriers and involve the analysis of asymptotic behavior of super-harmonic functions associated to the Laplace operator with critical potentials, Phragmen--Lindel"of type comparison arguments and an improved version of Hardy's inequality in cone--like domains.
