Abstract

In the present paper, we consider the coupled Schr\"{o}dinger systems with critical exponent: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u_i+\lambda_{i}u_i=\sum\limits_{j=1}^{d} \beta_{ij}|u_j|^{3}|u_i|u_i \quad ~\text{ in } \Omega,\\ u_i \in H_0^1(\Omega) ,\quad i= 1,2,...,d. \end{cases} \end{equation*} Here, ΩR3\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{3} is a smooth bounded domain, d2d \geq 2, βii>0\beta_{ii}>0 for every ii, and βij=βji\beta_{ij}=\beta_{ji} for iji \neq j. We study a Br\'{e}zis-Nirenberg type problem: λ1(Ω)<λ1,,λd<λ(Ω)-\lambda_{1}(\Omega)<\lambda_{1},\cdots,\lambda_{d}<-\lambda^*(\Omega), where λ1(Ω)\lambda_{1}(\Omega) is the first eigenvalue of Δ-\Delta with Dirichlet boundary conditions and λ(Ω)(0,λ1(Ω))\lambda^*(\Omega)\in (0, \lambda_1(\Omega)). We acquire the existence of least energy positive solutions to this system for weakly cooperative case (βij>0\beta_{ij}>0 small) and for purely competitive case (βij0\beta_{ij}\leq 0) by variational arguments. The proof is performed by mathematical induction on the number of equations, and requires more refined energy estimates for this system. Besides, we present a new nonexistence result, revealing some different phenomena comparing with the higher-dimensional case N5N\geq 5. It seems that this is the first paper to give a rather complete picture for the existence of least energy positive solutions to critical Schr\"{o}dinger system in dimension three.
