Abstract

Suppose uH˙1(Rn)u\in \dot{H}^1(\mathbb{R}^n). In a seminal work, Struwe proved that if u0u\geq 0 and Δu+un+2n2H1:=Γ(u)0\|\Delta u+u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}}\|_{H^{-1}}:=\Gamma(u)\to 0 then dist(u,T)0dist(u,\mathcal{T})\to 0, where dist(u,T)dist(u,\mathcal{T}) denotes the H˙1(Rn)\dot{H}^1(\mathbb{R}^n)-distance of uu from the manifold of sums of Talenti bubbles. Ciraolo, Figalli and Maggi obtained the first quantitative version of Struwe's decomposition with one bubble in all dimensions, namely δ(u)CΓ(u)\delta (u) \leq C \Gamma (u). For Struwe's decomposition with two or more bubbles, Figalli and Glaudo showed a striking dimensional dependent quantitative estimate, namely δ(u)CΓ(u)\delta(u)\leq C \Gamma(u) when 3n53\leq n\leq 5 while this is false for n6 n\geq 6. In this paper, we show that dist(u,T)C{Γ(u)logΓ(u)12if n=6,Γ(u)n+22(n2)if n7.dist (u,\mathcal{T})\leq C\begin{cases} \Gamma(u)\left|\log \Gamma(u)\right|^{\frac{1}{2}}\quad&\text{if }n=6, |\Gamma(u)|^{\frac{n+2}{2(n-2)}}\quad&\text{if }n\geq 7.\end{cases} Furthermore, we show that this inequality is sharp.
