Abstract

For any rank 2 of simple Lie algebra, the relativistic Chern-Simons system has the following form: \begin{equation*}\left \lbrace \begin {array}{@{}l@{\quad }l@{}}\Delta u_1+(\sum _{i=1}^2K_{1xi}e^{u_i} -\sum _{i=1}^2\sum _{j=1}^2e^{u_i}K_{1i}e^{u_j}K_{ij})=4\pi \displaystyle \sum _{j=1}^{N_1}\delta _{p_j}\\ \Delta u_2+(\sum _{i=1}^2K_{2i}e^{u_i}-\sum _{i=1}^2\sum _{j=1}^2e^{u_i}K_{2i}e^{u_j}K_{ij})=4\pi \displaystyle \sum _{j=1}^{N_2}\delta _{q_j} \end{array} \right . \quad \mathrm {in}\; \mathbb {R}^2, \end{equation*} where $K$ is the Cartan matrix of rank $2$. There are three Cartan matrix of rank 2: $\textbf {A}_2$, $\textbf {B}_2$ and $\textbf {G}_2$. A long-standing open problem for this equation is the question of the existence of non-topological solutions. In this paper, we consider the $\textbf {A}_2$ and $\textbf {B}_2$ case. We prove the existence of non-topological solutions under the condition that either $N_2\sum _{j=1}^{N_1} p_j=N_1\sum _{j=1}^{N_2} q_j$ or $N_2\sum _{j=1}^{N_1} p_j \not = N_1\sum _{j=1}^{N_2} q_j$ and $N_1, N_2 >1, |N_1-N_2| \not = 1$. We solve this problem by a perturbation from the corresponding $\textbf {A}_2$ and $\textbf {B}_2$ Toda system with one singular source.
