Abstract:

Let (Mn, g) be a complete Riemannian manifold of dimention n with Ricci curvature RicM(x)≥-A(1+r2(x)ln2(2+r(x))), where A is a nonnegative constant and r(x) is the geodesic distance from x to some fixed point x0∈M.\$ In this paper, we show that there is no nonnegative C2 solution but zero to the equation Δu+Su+Kuα=0 on M under such conditions as: S≤0 on M; K<0 on M and K≤-a2<0 outside some compact set for a constant a>0 and any constant α>1.

Key words: Riemannian manifold, Ricci curvature, Elliptic equation, Liouville theorem.
