TL;DR
This work addresses the existence of multistring solutions for a semilinear elliptic system arising from self-gravitating, massive $W$-boson cosmic strings, including nonradial configurations with distinct string locations. The authors decompose solutions into Liouville-type leading profiles $\rho^I$ and $\rho^{II}$ plus small perturbations, derive radial auxiliary corrections $w_1,w_2$ with precise logarithmic decays, and formulate a fixed-point problem in weighted Banach spaces. They establish nondegeneracy of the linearized operator by proving surjectivity and identifying its kernel, and apply the Implicit Function Theorem to obtain a 2-parameter family of small-$\varepsilon$ solutions with explicit asymptotics for $u$ and $\eta$. The results yield sharp decay rates (involving constants $C_1,C_2$ and a Beta function) and solve an open problem on nonradial multistring solutions, with relevance to the physical model where certain positivity and non-smallness conditions hold. Overall, the paper advances the mathematical existence theory for planar Bogomol’nyi-type systems with multiple vortices.
Abstract
We consider a semilinear elliptic system which include the model system of the $W-$strings in the cosmology as a special case. We prove existence of multi-string solutions and obtain precise asymptotic decay estimates near infinity for the solutions. As a special case of this result we solve an open problem posed in \cite{yan}
