Abstract

In this paper, we study the elliptic equations

$$-G_\alpha u+c(\text {x} )\cdot\nabla_\alpha u=h(\text {x} )e^{u}, \qquad \text {x} = (x,y) \in \mathbb R^{N_{1}}\times \mathbb R^{N_{2}}=\mathbb R^{N},$$

where \(G_{\alpha} =\Delta_{x}+ ( 1+\alpha )^{2}\lvert x\rvert^{2\alpha}\Delta_{y}\), \(\alpha > 0, \) is the Grushin operator. Here, the advection term \(c(\text {x})\) is a smooth, divergence free vector field satisfying certain decay condition and \(h(\text {x}) \) is a continuous function such that \(h({\rm x} )\geq C|{\rm x}|^l\), \(l\geq 0\), where \(|{\rm x}|\) is the Grushin norm of \({\rm x}\). We will prove that the equation has no stable solutions provided that

$$N_{\alpha}< 10+ 4 l,$$

where \(N_\alpha:=N_1+(1+\alpha)N_2\) is the homogeneous dimension of \(\mathbb R^N\) associated to the Grushin operator.
