The Liouville theorem on H-type groups

Abstract

In this paper we obtain a Liouville type theorem to the semilinear subcritical elliptic equation on H-type groups. The semilinear subcritical elliptic equation studied in this paper is a generalization of a classical semilinear subcritical elliptic equation on the Heisenberg group. The proofs are based on an {\it a priori} integral estimate and a generalized differential identity which found by Jerison and Lee [J. Diff. Geom, 29 (1989)].
