Overdetermined problems for the rotationally invariant Poisson equation in model manifolds
Abstract
We present rigidity results for overdetermined problems associated to the rotationally invariant Poisson equation in a model manifold with warping function . The variable ranges in the interval , whose endpoint is positive and possibly infinite. The first part of the paper deals with the problem \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta_{g_\mathcal{M}} {u}=f(r) &\mbox{in $\Omega$}, u=\varphi(r) &\mbox{on $\partial \Omega$}, \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} = \kappa(r) &\mbox{on $\partial \Omega$}, \end{array} where is a bounded domain containing the point corresponding to , is the exterior unit normal vector on , and , , are three prescribed functions. In the second part of the paper, we consider a similar overdetermined problem for the exterior Bernoulli problem in a domain , where denotes the geodesic ball centered at with radius , within the class of functions that vanish on . In both cases, we give conditions on , and implying that the solution is radial and is a geodesic ball centered at . Our results apply in particular to the three space forms , and .
