Bidaut-Véron–Szulkin conjecture for the Hamiltonian system

About 16 years old · traced to

Consider the Hamiltonian system

(SH){−Δu=∣x∣avδ,−Δv=∣x∣buμ,(SH)\left\{\begin{array}{c}-\Delta u=\left\vert x\right\vert ^a v^\delta,\\-\Delta v=\left\vert x\right\vert ^b u^\mu,\end{array}\right.

with p=q=2<Np=q=2<N, s=m=0s=m=0, and a>−2a>-2. In the case a=b=0a=b=0, the relevant exponents are (δ,μ)(\delta,\mu).

Bidaut-Véron–Szulkin conjecture. System (SH)(SH) with a=b=0a=b=0 admits no radial or nonradial global solutions if and only if (δ,μ)(\delta,\mu) lies under the hyperbola

Nδ+1+Nμ+1=N−2.\frac{N}{\delta+1}+\frac{N}{\mu+1}=N-2.

The question was open in the source; it had been solved in the radial case, partially in subsequent work, and up to dimension N=4N=4, while the general nonradial case remained unresolved.
