Singular Solutions of the Loewner-Nirenberg Problem in Conic Domains with Prescribed Singularity at Vertices

TL;DR
This work extends the analysis of singular solutions to the Loewner–Nirenberg problem on conical domains by prescribing higher-order vertex asymptotics and constructing actual solutions realizing those prescribed data. The authors first recast the problem in cylindrical coordinates, identify the radial cone solution $u_V(x)=|x|^{-\frac{n-2}{2}}\xi(\theta)$, and perform a linearization around it, yielding the linear operator $\mathcal{L}$ with a singular angular term. They develop a robust weighted Hölder framework and perform a spectral decomposition on the angular domain, enabling a contraction mapping to upgrade approximate order-$\mu$ solutions to genuine solutions with controlled decay near the vertex. They also provide a general scheme to generate approximate solutions by assembling linearized modes with nonlinear corrections, parameterized by a finite set of free data from the index set $\mathcal{I}$, thereby achieving a canonical higher-order asymptotic expansion for solutions in conic domains. The results unify and extend prior asymptotic analyses (e.g., for cones) and offer a concrete method to realize prescribed vertex singularities in conformally invariant Yamabe-type problems.
Abstract
We study positive singular solutions of the Loewner-Nirenberg problem on conical domains and establish the existence of solutions that admit prescribed asymptotic expansions near vertices, valid to arbitrarily high order of approximation.
