Nonlocal planar Schrödinger-Poisson systems in the fractional Sobolev limiting case

Abstract: We study the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation for the $s-$fractional $p-$Laplacian strongly coupled with the Poisson equation in dimension two and with $p=\frac2s$, which is the limiting case for the embedding of the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^2)$. We prove existence of solutions by means of a variational approximating procedure for an auxiliary Choquard equation in which the uniformly approximated sign-changing logarithmic kernel competes with the exponential nonlinearity. Qualitative properties of solutions such as symmetry and decay are also established by exploiting a suitable moving planes technique.
