Abstract: We study the following Lane-Emden system [ -Delta u=|v|^{q-1}v quad ext{ in } Omega, qquad -Delta v=|u|^{p-1}u quad ext{ in } Omega, qquad u_

u=v_

u=0 quad ext{ on } partial Omega, ] with Omega a bounded regular domain of mathbbRN, Nge4, and exponents p,q belonging to the so-called critical hyperbola 1/(p+1)+1/(q+1)=(N−2)/N. We show that, under suitable conditions on p,q, least-energy (sign-changing) solutions exist, and they are classical. In the proof we exploit a dual variational formulation which allows to deal with the strong indefinite character of the problem. We establish a compactness condition which is based on a new Cherrier type inequality. We then prove such condition by using as test functions the solutions to the system in the whole space and performing delicate asymptotic estimates. If Nge5, p=1, the system above reduces to a biharmonic equation, for which we also prove existence of least-energy solutions. Finally, we prove some partial symmetry and symmetry-breaking results in the case Omega is a ball or an annulus.
