Abstract: We consider solutions of the competitive elliptic system [ left{ �egin{array}{ll} -Delta u_i = - sum_{j eq i} u_i u_j^2 & ext{in $mathbb{R}^N$} \ u_i >0 & ext{in $mathbb{R}^N$} end{array} ight. qquad i=1,dots,k. ] We are concerned with the classification of entire solutions, according with their growth rate. The prototype of our main results is the following: there exists a function $delta=delta(k,N)inmathbbN$, increasing in $k$, such that if $(u_1,dots,u_k)$ is a solution and [ u_1(x)+cdots+u_k(x) le C(1+|x|^d) qquad ext{for every $xinmathbb{R}^N$}, ] then $dgedelta$. This means that the number of components $k$ of the solution imposes an increasing in $k$ minimal growth on the solution itself. If $N=2$, the expression of $delta$ is explicit and optimal, while in higher dimension it can be characterized in terms of an optimal partition problem. We discuss the sharpness of our results and, as a further step, for every $Nge2$ we can prove the $1$-dimensional symmetry of the solutions satisfying suitable assumptions, extending known results which are available for $k=2$. The proofs rest upon a blow-down analysis and on some monotonicity formulae.
