Abstract

We examine stable solutions of the following symmetric system on a complete, connected, smooth Riemannian manifold M\mathbb{M} without boundary, \begin{equation*} -\Delta_g u_i = H_i(u_1,\cdots,u_m) \ \ \text{on} \ \ \mathbb{M}, \end{equation*} when Δg\Delta_g stands for the Laplace-Beltrami operator, ui:MRu_i:\mathbb{M}\to \mathbb R and HiC1(Rm)H_i\in C^1(\mathbb R^m) for 1im1\le i\le m. This system is called symmetric if the matrix of partial derivatives of all components of HH, that is H(u)=(jHi(u))i,j=1m\mathbb H(u)=(\partial_j H_i(u))_{i,j=1}^m, is symmetric. We prove a stability inequality and a Poincar\'{e} type inequality for stable solutions using the Bochner-Weitzenb\"{o}ck formula. Then, we apply these inequalities to establish Liouville theorems and flatness of level sets for stable solutions of the above symmetric system, under certain assumptions on the manifold and on solutions.
