Abstract: We study Liouville theorems for the following polyharmonic H'{e}non-Lane-Emden system �egin{eqnarray*} left{�egin{array}{lcl} (-Delta)^m u&=& |x|^{a}v^p ext{in} mathbb{R}^n,\ (-Delta)^m v&=& |x|^{b}u^q ext{in} mathbb{R}^n, end{array} ight. end{eqnarray*} when m,p,qge1, pqeq1, a,bge0. The main conjecture states that (u,v)=(0,0) is the unique nonnegative solution of this system whenever (p,q) is {it under} the critical Sobolev hyperbola, i.e. fracn+ap+1+fracn+bq+1>n2m. We show that this is indeed the case in dimension n=2m+1 for bounded solutions. In particular, when a=b and p=q, this means that u=0 is the only nonnegative bounded solution of the polyharmonic H'{e}non equation �egin{equation*} (-Delta)^m u= |x|^{a}u^p ext{in} mathbb{R}^{n} end{equation*} in dimension n=2m+1 provided p is the subcritical Sobolev exponent, i.e., 1<p<1+4m+2a. Moreover, we show that the conjecture holds for radial solutions in any dimensions. It seems the power weight functions |x|a and |x|b make the problem dramatically more challenging when dealing with nonradial solutions.
