Abstract

Let Σ\Sigma be a closed Riemann surface, hh a positive smooth function on Σ\Sigma, ρ\rho and α\alpha real numbers. In this paper, we study a generalized mean field equation \begin{align*} -\Delta u=\rho\left(\dfrac{he^u}{\int_\Sigma he^u}-\dfrac{1}{\mathrm{Area}\left(\Sigma\right)}\right)+\alpha\left(u-\fint_{\Sigma}u\right), \end{align*} where Δ\Delta denotes the Laplace-Beltrami operator. We first derive a uniform bound for solutions when ρ(8kπ,8(k+1)π)\rho\in (8k\pi, 8(k+1)\pi) for some non-negative integer number kNk\in \mathbb{N} and αSpec(Δ){0}\alpha\notin\mathrm{Spec}\left(-\Delta\right)\setminus\set{0}. Then we obtain existence results for α<λ1(Σ)\alpha<\lambda_1\left(\Sigma\right) by using the Leray-Schauder degree theory and the minimax method, where λ1(Σ)\lambda_1\left(\Sigma\right) is the first positive eigenvalue for Δ-\Delta.
