Berestycki–Lin–Wei–Zhao's Gibbons-type conjecture for an elliptic system

About 13 years old · traced to

Consider the elliptic system

{−Δu=−uv2in RN,−Δv=−u2vin RN,u,v>0in RN.\begin{cases} -\Delta u=-uv^2 & \text{in }\mathbb{R}^N,\\ -\Delta v=-u^2v & \text{in }\mathbb{R}^N,\\ u,v>0 & \text{in }\mathbb{R}^N. \end{cases}

Let N≥2N\geq 2, and let (u,v)(u,v) be a solution satisfying

\begin{split} \lim_{x_N\to-\infty}u(x',x_N)&=0, &\lim_{x_N\to+\infty}u(x',x_N)&=+\infty,\\ \lim_{x_N\to-\infty}v(x',x_N)&=+\infty, &\lim_{x_N\to+\infty}v(x',x_N)&=0, \end{split}

with the limits uniform in x′∈RN−1x'\in\mathbb{R}^{N-1}. Berestycki–Lin–Wei–Zhao's Gibbons-type conjecture. Then (u,v)(u,v) is 11-dimensional. The claim is a symmetry statement for entire positive solutions of the Bose–Einstein condensation system, analogous to the Gibbons conjecture for the Allen–Cahn equation. The paper's abstract states that this conjecture is proved, so the conjecture is resolved in the cited work.
