Abstract

We study the critical system of m2m\geq 2 equations \begin{equation*} -\Delta u_i = u_i^5 + \sum_{j = 1,\,j\neq i}^m \beta_{ij} u_i^2 u_j^3\,, \quad u_i \gneqq 0 \quad \mbox{in } \mathbb{R}^3\,, \quad i \in \{1, \ldots, m\}\,, \end{equation*} where βκ=αR\beta_{\kappa\ell} =\alpha\in\mathbb{R} if κ\kappa\neq\ell, and βm=βmκ=β<0\beta_{\ell m}=\beta_{m \kappa} =\beta<0, for κ,{1,,m1} \kappa, \ell \in \{1,\ldots, m-1\}. We construct solutions to this system in the case where β\beta\to-\infty by means of a Ljapunov-Schmidt reduction argument. This allows us to identify the explicit form of the solution at main order: u1u_1 will look like a perturbation of the standard radial positive solution to the Yamabe equation, while u2u_2 will blow-up at the kk vertices of a regular planar polygon. The solutions to the other equations will replicate the blowing-up structure under an appropriate rotation that ensures uiuju_i\neq u_j for iji\neq j. The result provides the first almost-explicit example of non-synchronized solutions to competitive critical systems in dimension 3.
