Abstract

We consider the following Toda system, where γ i>-1, δ 0 is Dirac measure at 0, and the coefficients a ij form the standard tri-diagonal Cartan matrix. In this paper, (i) we completely classify the solutions and obtain the quantization result: This generalizes the classification result by Jost and Wang for γ i=0, ∀1≤i≤n. (ii) We prove that if γ ii+1+⋯+γ j∉ℤ for all 1≤i≤j≤n, then any solution u i is radially symmetric w. r. t. 0. (iii) We prove that the linearized equation at any solution is non-degenerate. These are fundamental results in order to understand the bubbling behavior of the Toda system.
