Bubbling solutions for supercritical problems on manifolds
Let $(M,g)$ be a $n-$dimensional compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and $\Gamma$ be a non degenerate closed geodesic of $(M,g)$. We prove that the supercritical problem $$-\Delta_gu+h u=u^{\frac{n+1}{n-3}\pm\epsilon},\ u>0,\ \hbox{in}\ (M,g)$$ has a solution that concentrates along $\Gamma$ as $\epsilon$ goes to zero, provided the function $h$ and the sectional curvatures along $\Gamma$ satisfy a suitable condition. A connection with the solution of a class of periodic O.D.E.'s with singularity of attractive or repulsive type is established.
