Yamabe systems and optimal partitions on manifolds with symmetries
2021
We prove the existence of regular optimal $G$-invariant partitions, with an arbitrary number $\ell\geq 2$ of components, for the Yamabe equation on a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ when $G$ is a compact group of isometries of $M$ with infinite orbits. To this aim, we study a weakly coupled competitive elliptic system of $\ell$ equations, related to the Yamabe equation. We show that this system has a least energy $G$-invariant solution with nontrivial components and we show that the limit profiles of the its components separate spatially as the competition parameter goes to $-\infty$, giving rise to an optimal partition.
For $\ell=2$ the optimal partition obtained yields a least energy sign-changing $G$-invariant solution to the Yamabe equation with precisely two nodal domains.
