One-dimensional symmetry for integral systems in two dimensions

The purpose of this brief paper is to prove De Giorgi type results for stable solutions of the following nonlocal system of integral equations in two dimensions $$ L(u_i) = H_i(u) \quad \text{in} \ \ \mathbb R^2 , $$ where $u=(u_i)_{i=1}^m$ for $u_i: \mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R$, $H=(H_i)_{i=1}^m$ is a general nonlinearity. The operator $L$ is given by $$L(u_i (x)):= \int_{\mathbb R^2} [u_i(x) - u_i(z)] K(z-x) dz,$$ for some kernel $K$. The idea is to apply a linear Liouville theorem for the quotient of partial derivatives, just like in the proof of the classical De Giorgi's conjecture in lower dimensions. Since there is no Caffarelli-Silvestre local extension problem associated to the above operator, we deal with this problem directly via certain integral estimates.
