Energy and Morse index of solutions of Yamabe type problems on thin annuli

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the Yamabe type family of problems ( P ε ) : Δ u ε = u ε ( n + 2 ) / ( n 2 ) , u ε > 0 in A ε , u ε = 0 on A ε , where A ε is an annulus-shaped domain of n , n 3 , which becomes thinner as ε 0 . We show that for every solution u ε , the energy A ε | u | 2 as well as the Morse index tend to infinity as ε 0 . This is proved through a fine blow up analysis of appropriate scalings of solutions whose limiting profiles are regular, as well as of singular solutions of some elliptic problem on n , a half-space or an infinite strip. Our argument also involves a Liouville type theorem...
