Abstract: We consider the following class of fractional Schr"odinger equations (-Delta)^{alpha} u + V(x)u = K(x) f(u) mbox{in} mathbb{R}^{N} where alphain(0,1), N>2alpha, (Delta)alpha is the fractional Laplacian, V and K are positive continuous functions which vanish at infinity, and f is a continuous function. By using a minimization argument and a quantitative deformation lemma, we obtain the existence of a sign-changing solution. Furthermore, when f is odd, we prove that the above problem admits infinitely many nontrivial solutions. Our result extends to the fractional framework some well-known theorems proved for elliptic equations in the classical setting. With respect to these cases studied in the literature, the nonlocal one considered here presents some additional difficulties, such as the lack of decompositions involving positive and negative parts, and the non-differentiability of the Nehari Manifold, so that a careful analysis of the fractional spaces involved is necessary.
