TL;DR
This work analyzes a Liouville system with negative singular sources on a Riemann surface, focusing on bubbling behavior as parameters cross critical hyper-surfaces. It develops a complete bubble-interaction theory, deriving exact bubbling heights, local masses, and blowup locations, along with leading-term asymptotics for the energy balance when parameters approach critical sets. A central tool is a precise local-global approximation: near each blowup point the solution is close to a radial global Liouville profile, with robust first- and second-order estimates and a careful angular-mode analysis. These results yield tight mass balance constraints, leading-term descriptions, and stringent conditions on the coefficient functions around singular sources, enabling both construction and classification of bubbling solutions in this singular Liouville framework.
Abstract
Liouville systems on Riemann surfaces are instrumental in modeling species growth and particle dynamics in biology and physics. Previously, we established a priori estimates for parameters across regions defined by critical hyper-surfaces. Here, we extend this by giving a priori estimates when parameters are critically positioned. This involves thoroughly characterizing bubble interaction, a key challenge in Liouville systems. During blowup events, we ascertain the exact heights of bubbling solutions about each blowup point, the integrals of each component, and the blowup points' positions. Moreover, as the parameter $ρ$ approaches a critical hyper-surface, we identify a pivotal leading term vital for numerous applications.
