Infinitely many solutions for a class of fractional Schrodinger equations coupled with neutral scalar field

Abstract

We study the fractional Schrödinger equations coupled with a neutral scalar field $$ (-Δ)^s u+V(x)u=K(x)φu +g(x)|u|^{q-2}u, \quad x\in \mathbb{R}^3,\qquad (I-Δ)^t φ=K(x)u^2, \quad x\in \mathbb{R}^3, $$ where $(-Δ)^s$ and $(I-Δ)^t$ denote the fractional Laplacian and Bessel operators with $\frac{3}{4} <s<1$ and $0<t<1$, respectively. Under some suitable assumptions for the external potentials $V$, $K$ and $g$, given $q\in(1,2)\cup(2,2_s^*)$ with $2_s^*:= \frac{6}{3-2s}$, with the help of an improved Fountain theorem dealing with a class of strongly indefinite variational problems approached by Gu-Zhou [Adv. Nonlinear Stud., {\bf 17} (2017), 727--738], we show that the system admits infinitely many nontrivial solutions.
