# Partial regularity for a Liouville system

• Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded smooth open set. We prove that the singular set of any extremal solution of the system \begin{equation*} -\Delta u=\mu e^v , \quad - \Delta v=\lambda e^u\quad\mbox{ in }\Omega, \end{equation*} with $u=v=0$ on $\partial \Omega$, $\mu,\lambda\geq0$, has Hausdorff dimension at most $n-10$.
