Abstract:

We show that the prescribed Gaussian curvature equation in $\mathbb{R}^2$ \[-\Delta u= (1-
x
^p) e^{2u},\] has solutions with prescribed total curvature equal to $\Lambda:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}(1-
x
^p)e^{2u}dx\in \mathbb{R}$, if and only if \[p\in(0,2) \qquad \text{and} \qquad (2+p)\pi\le\Lambda<4\pi\] and prove that such solutions remain compact as $\Lambda\to\bar{\Lambda}\in[(2+p)\pi,4\pi)$, while they produce a spherical blow-up as $\Lambda\uparrow4\pi$.\\
