Abstract

This paper is concerned with the static Choquard equation

$$\begin{eqnarray}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}u=\bigg(\frac{1}{|x|^{N-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}}\ast |u|^{p}\bigg)|u|^{p-2}u\quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N},\end{eqnarray}$$
where $N,p>2$ and $\max \{0,N-4\}<\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}<N$. We prove that if $u\in C^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N})$ is a stable weak solution of the equation, then $u\equiv 0$. This phenomenon is quite different from that of the local Lane–Emden equation, where such a result only holds for low exponents in high dimensions. Our result is the first Liouville theorem for Choquard-type equations with supercritical exponents and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\neq 2$.
