1. Introduction and Statement of Main Result
Recently, a lot of attention has been focused on the study of the following Choquard-type Hamiltonian system
(1.1)

When

, (1.1) reduces to the following classic Choquard equation
(1.2)
Equation (1.2) has a physical prototype, as pointed out by Lieb [1] , Choquard introduced the equation
to describe an electron trapped in its own hole as an approximation to Hartree-Fock theory for a one component plasma. It also arises in multiple particle systems and Quantum Mechanics [2] . In a pioneering work, set
, then
(1.3)
and Lieb [1] first obtained the existence and uniqueness of a ground state solution to (1.3) via variational methods. Lions [3] [4] considered the same problem and proved the existence and multiplicity of normalized solutions. The classification of positive solutions was first studied by Ma and Zhao [5] .
As for (1.2), Moroz and Van Schaftingen [6] studied the positivity, regularity, decay asymptotics and radial symmetry of ground state solutions for
. Meanwhile, they also proved that (1.2) has no nontrivial smooth
solution for either
or
by using the Pohožaev identity. The number

By using the method of moving planes in integral forms introduced by Chen et
al. [8] , Le [9] proved the following equation has no positive solution if

As for more investigations about Choquard equations, we refer to [10] .
For the Hamiltonian system, if
in (1.1), Maia and Miyagaki [11] studied the following Choquard-type Hamiltonian system
(1.4)
However, different from (1.2), the structure of (1.4) makes it quite difficult to obtain the Pohožaev identity for (1.4). In the spirit of the method in [12] , Maia and Miyagaki used similar arguments to overcome this difficulty and obtained the Pohožaev identity, they proved that: if
, (1.4) has no nontrivial non-negative
solution for
and
; if
, (1.4) has no nontrivial non-negative
solution for
and
. The key
idea of [12] is that, for the Hamiltonian system of 2 equations, consider a pair of non-negative solutions
, define
and
. Through a straightforward calculation to obtain
and
, then by using the differential knowledge and
is solution, we can get a differential form of Pohožaev identity, which will produce the Pohožaev identity. This new idea also helps Kou and An [13] to generalize the well-known results of Mitidieri [14] and discuss the nonexistence result of positive solutions for the Hamiltonian system in a non-star shaped domain. By the method of moving planes in integral forms, Le [15] also showed that the following system has no positive classical solution
when

,
and
.
Other existence or nonexistence results of solutions for equations can be find, we refer readers to [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] and references therein.
Motivated by the aforementioned papers, in the present paper, we give a nonexistence result of nontrivial non-negative solutions for (1.1) with
by the Pohožaev identity.
The main result of this paper is the following:
Theorem 1.1. Assume that
,
,
,
,
, and
, if
is a pair of non-negative solutions of (1.1), then
. In particular, (1.1) does not have a pair of nontrivial non-negative solutions for
and
.
In Section 2, we will give the proof of Theorem 1.1. To facilitate reading, we use the notations:
•

•

2. Proof of Theorem 1.1
To study (1.1), we need the following doubly weighted Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality proved in [21] .
