Abstract
In this paper, we mainly consider nonnegative weak solutions $u\in D^{1,p}(\R^{N})$ to the doubly $D^{1,p}(\R^{N})$-critical nonlocal quasi-linear Schrödinger-Hartree equation: \begin{align*} -Δ_p u- μ\frac{u^{p-1}}{|x|^p}=\left(|x|^{-2p}\ast |u|^{p}\right)|u|^{p-2}u \qquad &\mbox{in} \,\, \mathbb{R}^N, \end{align*} where $N\geq3$, $0\leqμ< \barμ:=\left( (N-p)/p \right)^p$ and $1<p<\frac{N}{2}$. When $μ>0$, due to appearance of the Hardy potential, the equation has singularity at $0\in\mathbb{R}^{N}$ and hence is not translation invariant, so sharp asymptotic estimates near the origin must be involved. First, we establish regularity and the sharp estimates on asymptotic behaviors near the origin and the infinity for any positive solution $u\in D^{1,p}(\R^{N})$ (and $|\nabla u|$) to more general equation $-\triangle_p u - μ\frac{1}{|x|^p}u^{p-1}=V(x)\frac{1}{|x|^s}u^{p-1}$ with $N\geq2$, $0\leqμ< \barμ$, $1<p<N$, $0\leq s < p$ and $0\leq V(x)\in L^\frac{N}{p-s}(\R^N)$. Then, as a consequence, we can apply the method of moving planes to prove that all the nontrivial nonnegative solutions in $D^{1,p}(\R^{N})$ are radially symmetric and strictly radially decreasing about the origin $0\in\mathbb{R}^{N}$. The sharp asymptotic estimates and radial symmetry for more general weighted doubly $D^{1,p}$-critical nonlocal quasi-linear equations were also derived. Our results extend the results in \cite{DLL} from the special case $μ=0$ to general cases $0\leqμ<\barμ$.
