Abstract

We consider the following Toda system \Delta u_i + \D \sum_{j = 1}^n a_{ij}e^{u_j} = 4\pi\gamma_{i}\delta_{0} \text{in}\mathbb R^2, \int_{\mathbb R^2}e^{u_i} dx < \infty, \forall 1\leq i \leq n, where γi>1\gamma_{i} > -1, δ0\delta_0 is Dirac measure at 0, and the coefficients aija_{ij} form the standard tri-diagonal Cartan matrix. In this paper, (i) we completely classify the solutions and obtain the quantization result: j=1naijR2eujdx=4π(2+γi+γn+1i),      1in.\sum_{j=1}^n a_{ij}\int_{\R^2}e^{u_j} dx = 4\pi (2+\gamma_i+\gamma_{n+1-i}), \;\;\forall\; 1\leq i \leq n. This generalizes the classification result by Jost and Wang for γi=0\gamma_i=0,   1in\forall \;1\leq i\leq n. (ii) We prove that if γi+γi+1+...+γjZ\gamma_i+\gamma_{i+1}+...+\gamma_j \notin \mathbb Z for all 1ijn1\leq i\leq j\leq n, then any solution uiu_i is \textit{radially symmetric} w.r.t. 0. (iii) We prove that the linearized equation at any solution is \textit{non-degenerate}. These are fundamental results in order to understand the bubbling behavior of the Toda system.
