Weighted integrability of polyharmonic functions in the higher-dimensional case

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the $L^{p}$ integrability of $N$ -harmonic functions with respect to the standard weights ${(1 - | x |^{2})}^{α}$ on the unit ball $𝔹$ of $ℝ^{n}$ , $n \geq 2$ . More precisely, our goal is to determine the real (negative) parameters $α$ for which ${(1 - | x |^{2})}^{α ∕ p} u (x) \in L^{p} (𝔹)$ implies that $u \equiv 0$ whenever $u$ is a solution of the $N$ -Laplace equation on $𝔹$ . This question is motivated by the uniqueness considerations of the Dirichlet problem for the $N$ -Laplacian $Δ^{N}$ .

Our study is inspired by a recent work of Borichev and Hedenmalm (Adv. Math. 264 (2014), 464–505), where a complete answer to the above question in the case $n = 2$ is given for the full scale $0 < p < \infty$ . When $n \geq 3$ , we obtain an analogous characterization for $\frac{n - 2}{n - 1} \leq p < \infty$ and remark that the remaining case can be genuinely more difficult. Also, we extend the remarkable cellular decomposition theorem of Borichev and Hedenmalm to all dimensions.
