Abstract:
In this paper, we analyze solutions of the open Toda system and establish an optimal Moser-Trudinger type inequality for this system. Let tex2html_wrap_inline36 be a closed surface with area 1 and tex2html_wrap_inline40 the Cartan matrix for SU(N+1), i.e.,
displaymath28
We show that
displaymath29
has a lower bound in tex2html_wrap_inline44 if and only if
displaymath30
has a lower bound in tex2html_wrap_inline44 if and only if As a direct consequence, if tex2html_wrap_inline46 for tex2html_wrap_inline48, tex2html_wrap_inline50 has a minimizer u which satisfies
