Schrödinger-Bopp-Podolsky system with sublinear and critical nonlinearities: solutions at negative energy levels and asymptotic behaviour

Abstract: We consider the following Schr\"odinger-Bopp-Podolsky system with critical and sublinear terms \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} - \Delta u+ u+Q(x)\phi u= \vert u\vert^4 u+ \lambda K(x)\vert u \vert^{p-1}u&\mbox{ in }\ \mathbb{R}^3 \smallskip - \Delta \phi+ a^{2}\Delta^{2} \phi = 4\pi Q(x) u^{2}& \mbox{ in }\ \mathbb{R}^3. \end{cases} \end{equation*} Here $u,\phi:\mathbb {R}^{3}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ are the unknowns, $Q$ and $K$ are given functions satisfying mild assumptions, $a\geq0, \lambda>0$ are parameters and $p\in (0,1)$. We first show existence of infinitely many solutions at negative energy level, including the ground state, when the parameter $\lambda$ is small. Then we give general results concerning the structure of the set of solutions. We show also the behaviour of the solutions as the parameters $a,\lambda$ tend to zero. In particular the ground states solutions tends to a ground state solution of the Schr\"odinger-Poisson system as $a$ tends to zero.
