Abstract In this paper, we consider the following elliptic Toda system associated to any general simple Lie algebra with multiple singular sources � ∑n ∑m − Δwi = j=1 ai,j e2wj + 2𝜋 𝓁=1 𝛽i,𝓁 𝛿p𝓁 in ℝ2 , wi (x) = − 2 log �x� + O(1) as �x� → ∞, i = 1, … , n,
where 𝛽i,𝓁 ∈ [0, 1) . Under some suitable assumption on 𝛽i,𝓁 we establish the existence and non-existence results. This paper generalizes Luo and Tian’s (Proc Am Math Soc 116(4):1119–1129, 1992) and Hyder et al. (Pac J Math 305(2):645–666, 2020) results to the general Toda system.

The Toda system (1.1) and the Liouville equation (1.2) arise in many physical and geometric problem. On geometric side, Liouville equation is related to the Nirenberg problem of finding a conformal metric with prescribed Gaussian curvature if {p1 , … , pm } = � , and the existence of the same curvature metric of problem (1.2) with conical singularities at {p1 , … , pm } . When the Lie algebra is 𝐀n , the Toda system (1.1) is closely related to holomorphic curves in projective spaces [5] and the Plücker formulas [9], while the periodic Toda systems are related to harmonic maps [10]. In physics, the Toda system is a wellknown integrable system and closely related to the W -algebra in conformal field theory, see [2, 8] and references therein. Liouville equation and Toda system also play an important role in Chern–Simons gauge theory. For example, 𝐀n ( n = 2 ) Toda system governs the limit equations as physical parameters tend to 0 and is used to explain the physics of high temperature, we refer the readers to [6, 32, 33] for more background on it, and [13–19, 21, 29, 30] for the recent developments on (1.1) and (1.2).
