Abstract:

Given a regular bounded domain $\Omega\subset\R{2m}$, we describe the limiting behavior of sequences of solutions to the mean field equation of order $2m$, $m\geq 1$, $$(-\Delta)m u=\rho \frac{e{2mu}}{\int\Omega e{2mu}dx}\quad\text{in}\Omega,$$ under the Dirichlet boundary condition and the bound $0<\rho\leq C$. We emphasize the connection with the problem of prescribing the $Q$-curvature.

Keywords: Q-curvature, Concentration-compactness, Mean-field equation
