Symmetry properties for the extremals of the Sobolev trace embedding

In this article we study symmetry properties of the extremals for the Sobolev trace embedding H1(B(0, µ)) ,→ Lq(∂B(0, µ)) with 1 ≤ q ≤2(N − 1)/(N − 2) for different values of µ. These extremals u are solutions of the problem {∆u = u in B(0, µ), ∂u_∂η = λ|u|q−2u on ∂B(0, µ). We find that, for 1 ≤ q &...

Sumario:In this article we study symmetry properties of the extremals for the Sobolev trace embedding H1(B(0, µ)) ,→ Lq(∂B(0, µ)) with 1 ≤ q ≤2(N − 1)/(N − 2) for different values of µ. These extremals u are solutions of the problem {∆u = u in B(0, µ), ∂u_∂η = λ|u|q−2u on ∂B(0, µ). We find that, for 1 ≤ q < 2(N − 1)/(N − 2), there exists a unique normalized extremal u, which is positive and has to be radial, for µ small enough. For the critical case, q = 2(N−1)/(N−2), as a consequence of the symmetry properties for small balls, we conclude the existence of radial extremals. Finally, for 1 < q ≤ 2, we show that a radial extremal exists for every ball.
