Abstract

Consider a positive integer nn and γ1>1,,γn>1\gamma_1>-1,\cdots,\gamma_n>-1. Let D={zC:z<1}D=\{z\in {\Bbb C}:|z|<1\}, and let (aij)n×n(a_{ij})_{n\times n} denote the Cartan matrix of su(n+1)\frak{su}(n+1). Utilizing the ordinary differential equation of (n+1)(n+1)th order around a singular source of SU(n+1){\rm SU}(n+1) Toda system, as discovered by Lin-Wei-Ye ({\it Invent Math}, {\bf 190}(1):169-207, 2012), we precisely characterize a solution (u1,,un)(u_1,\cdots, u_n) to the SU(n+1){\rm SU}(n+1) Toda system \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \frac{\partial^2 u_i}{\partial z\partial \bar z}+\sum_{j=1}^n a_{ij} e^{u_j}&=\pi \gamma _i\delta _0\,\,{\rm on}\,\, D\\ \frac{\sqrt{-1}}{2}\,\int_{D\backslash \{0\}} e^{u_{i} }{\rm d}z\wedge {\rm d}\bar z &< \infty \end{cases} \quad \text{for all}\quad i=1,\cdots, n \end{equation*} using (n+1)(n+1) holomorphic functions that satisfy the normalized condition. Additionally, we demonstrate that for each 1in1\leq i\leq n, 00 represents the cone singularity with angle 2π(1+γi)2\pi(1+\gamma_i) for the metric euidz2e^{u_i}|{\rm d}z|^2 on D\{0}D\backslash\{0\}, which can be locally characterized by (n1)(n-1) non-vanishing holomorphic functions at 00.
