Abstract

We prove uniqueness of blow up solutions of the mean field equation as ρn8πm\rho_n \rightarrow 8\pi m, mNm\in\mathbb{N}. If un,1u_{n,1} and un,2u_{n,2} are two sequences of bubbling solutions with the same ρn\rho_n and the same (non degenerate) blow up set, then un,1=un,2u_{n,1}=u_{n,2} for sufficiently large nn. The proof of the uniqueness requires a careful use of some sharp estimates for bubbling solutions of mean field equations [24] and a rather involved analysis of suitably defined Pohozaev-type identities as recently developed in [51] in the context of the Chern-Simons-Higgs equations. Moreover, motivated by the Onsager statistical description of two dimensional turbulence, we are bound to obtain a refined version of an estimate about ρn8πm\rho_n-8\pi m in case the first order evaluated in [24] vanishes.
