Abstract

We construct nontrivial unbounded domains Ω\Omega in the hyperbolic space HN\mathbb{H}^N, N{2,3,4}N \in \{2,3,4\}, bifurcating from the complement of a ball, such that the overdetermined elliptic problem \begin{equation} -\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^N} u+u-u^p=0\,\, \text{in}\,\,\Omega, \,\, u=0,\,\,\partial_\nu u=\text{const}\,\,\text{on}\,\,\partial\Omega\nonumber \end{equation} has a positive bounded solution in C2,α(Ω)H1(Ω)C^{2,\alpha}\left(\Omega\right) \cap H^1\left(\Omega\right). We also give a condition under which this construction holds for larger dimensions NN. This is linked to the Berestycki-Caffarelli-Nirenberg conjecture on overdetermined elliptic problems, and, as far as we know, is the first nontrivial example of solution to an overdetermined elliptic problem in the hyperbolic space.
