Semilinear Heat Inequalities with a Hardy-Type Potential in an Exterior Geodesic Domain on $\mathbb{S}^N$
Abstract
We study an inhomogeneous semilinear heat inequality on the unit sphere \(\mathbb S^N\), \(N\ge3\), in an exterior geodesic domain associated with a fixed pole. The equation involves the singular Hardy-type potential \(\lambda/\sin^2 r\), where \(r=d(o,x)\), and the weighted nonlinearity \((\sin r)^\alpha |u|^p\). For \(\alpha>-2\) and \(0<\lambda\le \lambda^*=((N-2)/2)^2\), we prove the existence of a critical exponent \(p_{\mathrm{crit}}=p_{\mathrm{crit}}(\alpha,N,\lambda)\) governing the existence and nonexistence of solutions. More precisely, we prove that no weak solution exists for any nontrivial nonnegative source in the range \(p>p_{\mathrm{crit}}\), whereas classical solutions exist for some positive continuous sources in the range \(1 1\). The analysis is based on the construction of radial Hardy barriers adapted to the antipodal singularity and on sharp integral estimates involving power and logarithmic cutoffs near \(r=\pi\).
