Abstract

We study blow-up and quantization phenomena for a sequence of solutions (uk)(u_k) to the prescribed QQ-curvature problem (Δ)nuk=Qke2nukin ΩR2n,Ωe2nukdxC, (-\Delta)^nu_k= Q_ke^{2nu_k}\quad \text{in }\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{2n},\quad \int_{\Omega}e^{2nu_k}dx\leq C, under natural assumptions on QkQ_k. It is well-known that, up to a subsequence, either (uk)(u_k) is bounded in a suitable norm, or there exists βk\beta_k\to\infty such that uk=βk(φ+o(1)) u_k=\beta_k(\varphi+o(1)) in Ω(S1Sφ)\Omega\setminus (S_1\cup S_\varphi) for some non-trivial non-positive nn-harmonic function φ\varphi and for a finite set S1S_1, where SφS_\varphi is the zero set of φ\varphi. We prove quantization of the total curvature Ω~Qke2nukdx\int_{\tilde\Omega}Q_ke^{2nu_k}dx on the region Ω~(ΩSφ)\tilde\Omega\Subset(\Omega\setminus S_\varphi). We also consider a non-local case in dimension three.
