Abstract

On a smoothly bounded domain ΩR2m\Omega\subset\R{2m} we consider a sequence of positive solutions ukw0u_k\stackrel{w}{\rightharpoondown} 0 in Hm(Ω)H^m(\Omega) to the equation (Δ)muk=λkukemuk2(-\Delta)^m u_k=\lambda_k u_k e^{mu_k^2} subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions, where 0<λk00<\lambda_k\to 0. Assuming that Λ:=limkΩuk(Δ)mukdx<,\Lambda:=\lim_{k\to\infty}\int_\Omega u_k(-\Delta)^m u_k dx<\infty, we prove that Λ\Lambda is an integer multiple of Λ1:=(2m1)!\vol(S2m)\Lambda_1:=(2m-1)!\vol(S^{2m}), the total QQ-curvature of the standard 2m2m-dimensional sphere.
