Non-existence of solutions for a mean field equation on flat tori at critical parameter 16

Abstract: It is known from cite{LW} that the solvability of the mean field equation

D e l t a u + e^{u} = 8 n p i d e l t a_{0}

with

n i n m a t h b b N_{g e q 1}

on a flat torus

E_{a u}

essentially depends on the geometry of

E_{a u}

. A conjecture is the non-existence of solutions for this equation if

E_{a u}

is a rectangular torus, which was proved for

n = 1

in cite{LW}. For any

n i n m a t h b b N_{g e q 2}

, this conjecture seems challenging from the viewpoint of PDE theory. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for

n = 2

(i.e. at critical parameter

16 p i

).
