Our work proposes a unified approach to three different topics in a general Riemannian setting: splitting theorems, symmetry results and overdetermined elliptic problems. By the existence of a stable solution to the semilinear equation…

We study Serrin's overdetermined boundary value problem \begin{equation*} -\Delta_{S^N}\, u=1 \quad \text{ in $\Omega$},\qquad u=0, \; \partial_\eta u=\textrm{const} \quad \text{on $\partial \Omega$} \end{equation*} in subdomains $\Omega$…
