Abstract: We study Choquard type equation of the form -Delta u +varepsilon u-(I_{alpha}*|u|^p)|u|^{p-2}u+|u|^{q-2}u=0quad in quad {mathbb R}^N,qquadqquad(P_varepsilon) where Ngeq3, Ialpha is the Riesz potential with alphain(0,N), p>1, q>2 and varepsilonge0. Equations of this type describe collective behaviour of self-interacting many-body systems. The nonlocal nonlinear term represents long-range attraction while the local nonlinear term represents short-range repulsion. In the first part of the paper for a nearly optimal range of parameters we prove the existence and study regularity and qualitative properties of positive groundstates of (P0) and of (Pvarepsilon) with varepsilon>0. We also study the existence of a compactly supported groundstate for an integral Thomas-Fermi type equation associated to (Pvarepsilon). In the second part of the paper, for varepsilono0 we identify six different asymptotic regimes and provide a characterisation of the limit profiles of the groundstates of (Pvarepsilon) in each of the regimes. We also outline three different asymptotic regimes in the case varepsilonoinfty. In one of the asymptotic regimes positive groundstates of (Pvarepsilon) converge to a compactly supported Thomas-Fermi limit profile. This is a new and purely nonlocal phenomenon that can not be observed in the local prototype case of (Pvarepsilon) with alpha=0. In particular, this provides a justification for the Thomas-Fermi approximation in astrophysical models of self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensate.
