Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the compactness of nonnegative solutions to a critical sub-elliptic equation with a nonnegative potential on the Heisenberg group. We establish that the solution set is compact provided the potential satisfies certain non-degeneracy conditions. Moreover, we show that if a sequence of solutions blows up, both the potential and its sub-Laplacian must vanish at the blow-up point. Our analysis overcomes the inherent geometric and analytical challenges posed by the Heisenberg group, including the degeneracy of the sub-Laplacian, its non-commutative structure, and the anisotropic dilation symmetry.
