This analysis shows uniqueness and non-degeneracy of blowup solutions in Liouville systems, indicating the need for robust pointwise estimates.
We study the following Liouville system defined on a compact Riemann surface M, {equation} -Δu_i=∑ⱼ₌₁^n aᵢⱼρ_j({h_j eu_j}{∫_Ωh_j eu_j}-1) in M for i=1,⋯,n, {equation} where the coefficient matrix A=(aᵢⱼ)n× n is nonnegative, h₁, …, hₙ are positive smooth functions, and ρ₁, …, ρₙ are positive constants. For the blowup solutions, we establish their uniqueness and non-degeneracy based on natural assumptions. The main results significantly generalize corresponding results for single Liouville equations {BartJevLeeYang2019,BartYangZhang20241,BartYangZhang20242}. To overcome several substantial difficulties, we develop certain tools and extend them into a more general framework applicable to similar situations. Notably, to address the considerable challenge of a continuum of standard bubbles, we refine the techniques from Huang-Zhang {HuangZhang2022} and Zhang {Zhang2006,Zhang2009} to achieve extremely precise pointwise estimates. Additionally, to address the limited information provided by the Pohozaev identity, we develop a useful Fredholm theory to discern the exact role that the Pohozaev identity plays for systems. The considerable difference between systems and a single equation is also reflected in the location of blowup points, where the uncertainty of the energy type of the blowup point makes it difficult to determine the sufficiency of pointwise estimates. In this regard, we extend our highly precise pointwise estimates to any finite order. This aspect is drastically distinct from analyses of single equations.
