We prove Liouville-type theorems for a parabolic system in dimension $N=1$ and for radial solutions in all dimensions under an optimal Sobolev growth restriction on the nonlinearities. This seems to be the first example of a Liouville-type theorem in the whole Sobolev subcritical range for a parabolic system (even for radial solutions). Moreover, this also seems to be the first application of the Gidas-Spruck technique to a parabolic system.
Keywords: Liouville-type theorem, singularity estimate., non-cooperative parabolic system, decay estimate.
