Spike layered solutions for elliptic systems on Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract

In this article, we study the following Hamiltonian system: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \begin{aligned} &-\varepsilon^{2}\Delta_{g} u +u = |v|^{q-1}v, &-\varepsilon^{2}\Delta_{g} v +v = |u|^{p-1}u && \text{ in } \mathcal{M}, & \quad u,v >0 && \text{ in } \mathcal{M}, \end{aligned} \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $\mathcal{M}$ is a smooth, compact and connected Riemannian manifold of dimension $N\geq 3$ without boundary. The exponents $p,q>1$ are assumed to lie below the critical hyperbola, ensuring subcritical growth conditions. We investigate a sequence of least energy critical points of the associated dual functional and analyze their concentration behavior as $\varepsilon \to 0$. Our main result shows that the sequence of solutions exhibits point concentration, with the concentration occurring at a point where the scalar curvature of $\mathcal{M}$ attains its maximum.
