The paper proves existence of bounded T-periodic mild solutions to the Boussinesq system on real hyperbolic space H^d (d>2) for p>d via semigroup L^p-L^q estimates due to Pierfelice, a fixed-point on a periodic ball, and an unconditional uniqueness statement for large periodic solutions that assumes small limsup of h near t=0 (Theorems 3.3, 4.2, 4.4). The candidate solution obtains the same main existence result using closely related heat-kernel/smoothing bounds and the L^p-bounded Hodge projector, but formulates a past-history variation-of-constants map and proves uniqueness by a Volterra-type inequality with kernel (t−s)^{−α}, α=1/2+d/(2p)<1, which in fact yields the same uniqueness without the paper’s auxiliary smallness-on-h-near-0 assumption. Thus both arguments are sound; the model’s uniqueness route is slightly sharper but consistent with the paper’s claims. Key elements match: the same exponent α=1/2+d/(2p), an exponentially decaying semigroup on H^d, bilinear estimates for B, and the Poincaré/periodization mechanism for the linear problem (Poincaré map in the paper, (I−e^{−TA})^{-1} in the model). See the paper’s setup and semigroup estimates, matrix formulation and Poincaré map, bilinear bound and contraction, and the uniqueness section for details .
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The results are technically sound and timely for PDEs on manifolds. The linear periodic problem is handled cleanly via a Poincaré map; the bilinear and smoothing estimates are carefully deployed to produce a contraction for small data. The unconditional uniqueness step requires only a minor refinement: the local smallness assumption on h(t) near t=0 can be dispensed with via a short-time Volterra-kernel argument exploiting the integrability exponent α<1. Clarifying the Lp-boundedness of the Hodge projector P with a precise citation would also improve the presentation. With these small adjustments, the paper is a solid specialist contribution.
