Abstract

We study the Cauchy problem in the hyperbolic space n ( n 2 ) for the semilinear heat equation with forcing term, which is either of KPP type or of Allen-Cahn type. Propagation and extinction of solutions, asymptotical speed of propagation and asymptotical symmetry of solutions are addressed. With respect to the corresponding problem in the Euclidean space n new phenomena arise, which depend on the properties of the diffusion process in n . We also investigate a family of travelling wave solutions, named horospheric waves, which have properties similar to those of plane waves in n .
