Linear non-degeneracy and uniqueness of the bubble solution for the critical fractional Hénon equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$

We study the equation \begin{equation*}\label{P0} (-Δ)^s u = |x|^α u^{\frac{N+2s+2α}{N-2s}}\mbox{ in }\mathbb{R}^N,\tag{P} \end{equation*} where $(-Δ)^s$ is the fractional Laplacian operator with $0 < s < 1$, $α>-2s$ and $N>2s$. We prove the linear non-degeneracy of positive radially symmetric solutions of the equation (\ref{P0}) and, as a consequence, a uniqueness result of those solutions with Morse index equal to one. In particular, the ground state solution is unique. Our non-degeneracy result extends in the radial setting some known theorems done by Dávila, Del Pino and Sire (see \cite[Theorem 1.1]{Davila-DelPino-Sire}), and Gladiali, Grossi and Neves (see \cite[Theorem 1.3]{Gladiali-Grossi-Neves}).

A Paneitz-type problem in pierced domains

We study the critical problem {equation} {{array}{ll} Δ^{2}u=u^{\frac{N+4}{N-4}} & {in}Ω\setminus \bar{B(ξ_0,\varepsilon)},\medskip u>0&{in}Ω\setminus \bar{B(ξ_0,\varepsilon)},\medskip u=Δu=0 & {on}\partial (Ω\setminus \bar{B(ξ_0,\varepsilon)}),{array}. \tag{P$_\varepsilon$} {equation} where $Ω$ is an open bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\ge5$, $ξ_0\inΩ$ and $B(ξ_0,\varepsilon)$ is the ball centered at $ξ_0$ with radius $\varepsilon>0$ small enough. We construct solutions of (P$_\varepsilon$) blowing-up at the center of the hole as the size of the hole goes to zero.
