Abstract

We study elliptic gradient systems with fractional laplacian operators on the whole space (Δ)su=H(u)  in  Rn, (- \Delta)^\mathbf s \mathbf u =\nabla H (\mathbf u) \ \ \text{in}\ \ \mathbf{R}^n, where u:RnRm\mathbf u:\mathbf{R}^n\to \mathbf{R}^m, HC2,γ(Rm)H\in C^{2,\gamma}(\mathbf{R}^m) for γ>max(0,12min{si})\gamma > \max(0,1-2\min \left \{s_i \right \}), s=(s1,,sm)\mathbf s=(s_1,\cdots,s_m) for 0<si<10<s_i<1 and H(u)=(Hui(u1,u2,,um))i\nabla H (\mathbf u)=(H_{u_i}(u_1, u_2,\cdots,u_m))_{i}. We prove De Giorgi type results for this system for certain values of s\mathbf s and in lower dimensions, i.e. n=2,3n=2,3. Just like the local case, the concepts of orientable systems and HH-monotone solutions, established in [18], play the key role in proving symmetry results. In addition, we provide optimal energy estimates, a monotonicity formula, a Hamiltonian identity and various Liouville theorems.
