Groundstates for nonlinear fractional Choquard equations with general nonlinearities (1412.3184v3)

Abstract: We study the following nonlinear Choquard equation driven by a fractional Laplacian: $$ (-\Delta)^{s}u+ u =(|x|^{-\mu}\ast F(u))f(u)|{4.14mm}{in}|{1.14mm} \mathbb{R}^N, $$ with $N\geq3$, $s\in(0,1)$ and $\mu\in(0,N)$. By Supposing that the nonlinearities satisfy the general Berestycki-Lions type conditions \cite{BL}, we are able to prove the existence of groundstates for this equation by variational methods.
