On the existence of normalized solutions to a class of fractional Choquard equation with potentials (2507.23363v1)

Abstract: This paper investigates the existence of normalized solutions to the nonlinear fractional Choquard equation: $$ (-\Delta)^s u+V(x) u=\lambda u+f(x)\left(I_\alpha *\left(f|u|^q\right)\right)|u|^{q-2} u+g(x)\left(I_\alpha *\left(g|u|^p\right)\right)|u|^{p-2} u, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^N $$ subject to the mass constraint $$ \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|u|^2 d x=a>0, $$ where $N>2 s, s \in(0,1), \alpha \in(0, N)$, and $\frac{N+\alpha}{N} \leq q<p \leq \frac{N+\alpha+2 s}{N}$. Here, the parameter $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ appears as an unknown Lagrange multiplier associated with the normalization condition. By employing variational methods under appropriate assumptions on the potentials $V(x), f(x)$, and $g(x)$, we establish several existence results for normalized solutions.
