Symmetry and nonexistence of positive solutions of elliptic equations and systems with Hardy terms
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Tome 28 (2011) no. 6, pp. 965-981.

We prove some symmetry property for equations with Hardy terms in cones, without any assumption at infinity. We also show symmetry property and nonexistence of entire solutions of some elliptic systems with Hardy weights.
