We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Analytic Aspects of the Toda System: II. Bubbling behavior and existence of solutions
Jürgen Jost, Chang-Shou Lin and Guofang Wang
Abstract
In this paper, we continue to consider the 2-dimensional (open) Toda system (Toda lattice) for $SU(N+1)$ \begin{equation}- \Delta u_i = \sum_{j=1}^N a_{ij} e^{u_j}, \end{equation} for $i=1,2,\cdots, N$, where $K=(a_{ij})_{N\times N}$ is the Cartan matrix for $SU(N+1)$ given by \[ \left(\begin{array}{rrrrrr} 2 & -1 & 0 & \cdots & \cdots & 0\cr -1& 2 &-1& 0 & \cdots & 0\cr 0&-1&2&-1& \cdots & 0\cr \cdots&\cdots&\cdots&\cdots&\cdots&\cdots\cr 0 &\cdots&\cdots& -1&2&-1\cr 0&\cdots&\cdots & 0 &-1&2\cr\end{array}\right).\nonumber\] we give a much more precise bubbling behavior of solutions and consider its existence in some critical cases
