Blow-up analysis involving isothermal coordinates on the boundary of compact Riemann surface

Abstract

Using the method of blow-up analysis, we obtain two sharp Trudinger-Moser inequalities on a compact Riemann surface with smooth boundary, as well as the existence of the corresponding extremals. This generalizes early results of Chang-Yang [7] and the first named author [32], and complements Fontana's inequality of two dimensions [15]. The blow-up analysis in the current paper is far more elaborate than that of [32], and particularly clarifies several ambiguous points there. In precise, we prove the existence of isothermal coordinate systems near the boundary, the existence and uniform estimates of the Green function with the Neumann boundary condition. Also our analysis can be applied to the Kazdan-Warner problem and the Chern-Simons Higgs problem on compact Riemman surfaces with smooth boundaries.
