Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following Hardy-type mean field equation \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - \Delta u-\frac{1}{(1-|x|^2)^2} u = \lambda e^u}, & {\rm in} \ \ B_1,\\ {\ \ \ \ u = 0,} &\ {\rm on}\ \partial B_1, \end{array}} \right. where λ>0\lambda>0 is small and B1B_1 is the standard unit disc of R2\mathbb{R}^2. Applying the moving plane method of hyperbolic space and the accurate expansion of heat kernel on hyperbolic space, we establish the radial symmetry and Brezis-Merle lemma for solutions of Hardy-type mean field equation. Meanwhile, we also derive the quantitative results for solutions of Hardy-type mean field equation, which improves significantly the compactness results for classical mean-field equation obtained by Brezis-Merle and Li-Shafrir. Furthermore, applying the local Pohozaev identity from scaling, blow-up analysis and a contradiction argument, we prove that the solutions are unique when λ\lambda is sufficiently close to 0.
