Abstract: We consider the mean field equation: (1) Delta u+ hofrac{e^u}{int_Omega e^u}=0 & hbox{in} ;Omega, u=0 & hbox{on};partialOmega, where $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^2$ is an open and bounded domain of class $C^1$. In his 1992 paper, Suzuki proved that if $Omega$ is a simply-connected domain, then equation (1) admits a unique solution for $hoin[0,8pi)$. This result for $Omega$ a simply-connected domain has been extended to the case $ho=8pi$ by Chang, Chen and the second author. However, the uniqueness result for $Omega$ a multiply-connected domain has remained a long standing open problem which we solve positively here for $hoin[0,8pi]$. To obtain this result we need a new version of the classical Bol's inequality suitable to be applied on multiply-connected domains. Our second main concern is the existence of solutions for (1) when $ho=8pi$. We a obtain necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the mean field equation at $ho=8pi$ which is expressed in terms of the Robin's function $gamma$ for $Omega$. For example, if equation (1) has no solution at $ho=8pi$, then $gamma$ has a unique nondegenerate maximum point. As a by product of our results we solve the long-standing open problem of the equivalence of canonical and microcanonical ensembles in the Onsager's statistical description of two-dimensional turbulence on multiply-connected domains.
