Abstract: It is well known that the Euclidean Sobolev inequality holds on any Cartan-Hadamard manifold of dimension $nge3$, i.e. any complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. As a byproduct of the Cartan-Hadamard conjecture, a longstanding problem in the mathematical literature settled only very recently in a breakthrough paper by Ghomi and Spruck, we can now assert that the optimal constant is also Euclidean, namely it coincides with the one achieved in the Euclidean space $mathbb{R}^n$ by the Aubin-Talenti functions. One may ask whether there exist at all optimal functions on a generic Cartan-Hadamard manifold $mathbb{M}^n$. What we prove here, with ad hoc arguments that do not take advantage of the validity of the Cartan-Hadamard conjecture, is that this is false at least for functions that are radially symmetric with respect to the geodesic distance from a fixed pole. More precisely, we show that if the optimum in the Sobolev inequality is achieved by some radial function, then $mathbb{M}^n$ must be isometric to $mathbb{R}^n$.
