Abstract

In this paper, we build infinitely many non-radial sign-changing solutions to the critical problem: \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{rlll} -\Delta u&=|u|^{\frac{4}{N-2}}u, &\hbox{ in }\Omega,\\ u&=0, &\hbox{ on }\partial\Omega. \end{array}\right. \eqno(P) \end{equation*} on the annulus Ω:={xRN:a<x<b}\Omega:=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^N: a<|x|<b\}, N3.N\geq 3. In particular, for any integer kk large enough, we build a non-radial solution which look like the unique positive solution u0u_0 to (P)(P) crowned by kk negative bubbles arranged on a regular polygon with radius r0r_0 such that r0N22u0(r0)=:maxarbrN22u0(r).r_0^{\frac{N-2}{2}}u_0(r_0)=:\displaystyle\max_{a\leq r\leq b}r^{\frac{N-2}{2}}u_0(r).
