Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We give new arguments for several Liouville type results related to the equation -Δ u = Ke 2u . The new approach is based on the holomorphic function associated with any solution, which plays a similar role as the Hopf differential for harmonic maps from a surface.
