Some Remarks on Pohozaev-Type Identities

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The aim of this note is to discuss in more detail the Pohozaev-type identities that have been recently obtained by the author, Paul Laurain and Tristan Rivi`ere in the framework of half-harmonic maps defined either on R or on the sphere S1 with values into a closed manifold NnsubsetRm. Weak half-harmonic maps are critical points of the following nonlocal energy int_{R}|(-Delta)^{1/4}u|^2 dx~~mbox{or}~~int_{S^1}|(-Delta)^{1/4}u|^2 d heta. If u is a sufficiently smooth critical point of the above energy then it satisfies the following equation of stationarity frac{du}{dx}cdot (-Delta)^{1/2} u=0~~mbox{a.e in R}~~mbox{or}~~frac{partial u}{partial heta}cdot (-Delta)^{1/2} u=0~~mbox{a.e in S1.} By using the invariance of the equation of stationarity in S1 with respect to the trace of the M"obius transformations of the 2 dimensional disk we derive a countable family of relations involving the Fourier coefficients of weak half-harmonic maps ucolonS1oNn. In the same spirit we also provide as many Pohozaev-type identities in 2-D for stationary harmonic maps as conformal vector fields in R2 generated by holomorphic functions.
