In this paper we study the problem of the axial symmetry of solutions of some semilinear elliptic equations in unbounded domains. Assuming that the solutions have Morse index one and that the nonlinearity is strictly convex in the second variable, we are able to prove several symmetry results in Rn and in the exterior of a ball. The case of some bounded domains is also discussed.

SynopsisIn this paper, we prove various existence and non-existence results for semilinear elliptic problems in unbounded domains. In particular we prove for general classes of unbounded domains that there exists no solution distinct from 0 offor any smooth f satisfying f(0) = 0. This result is obtained by the use of new identities that solutions of semilinear elliptic equations satisfy.
