Semiclassical solutions of Schrödinger equations with magnetic fields and critical nonlinearities (Q1938847)

In this paper, the authors are mainly interested in the following nonlinear Schrödinger equations \[ \begin{aligned} &(-i\epsilon\nabla+A(x))^2w+V(x)w=W(x)g(|w|)w;\\ &(-i\epsilon\nabla+A(x))^2w+V(x)w=W(x)(g(|w|)+|w|^{2^*-2})w\end{aligned} \] with a magnetic field, with both potentials V and W being positive and depending nontrivially on \(x\), and with ground state solutions concentrating on certain sets, which has not been studied much yet in the literature. The most interesting results obtained here refer to the second equation (critical nonlinear problem). They establish the existence and describe the concentration of semiclassical ground states of equation provided either \(\min\, V < \tau_0\) for some \(\tau_0 > 0\), or \(\max\, W > \kappa_0\) for some \(\kappa_0 > 0\).
