Abstract

We prove the uniqueness for the positive solutions of the following elliptic systems: \begin{eqnarray*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} - \lap (u(x)) = u(x)^{\alpha}v(x)^{\beta} - \lap (v(x)) = u(x)^{\beta} v(x)^{\alpha} \end{array} \right. \end{eqnarray*} Here xRnx\in R^n, n3n\geq 3, and 1α,βn+2n21\leq \alpha, \beta\leq \frac{n+2}{n-2} with α+β=n+2n2\alpha+\beta=\frac{n+2}{n-2}. In the special case when n=3n=3 and α=2,β=3\alpha =2, \beta=3, the systems come from the stationary Schrodinger system with critical exponents for Bose-Einstein condensate. As a key step, we prove the radial symmetry of the positive solutions to the elliptic system above with critical exponents.
