Abstract: We study the existence of ground states for the coupled Schr"odinger system �egin{equation} label{ellipticabstract} left{ �egin{array}{llll} -Delta u+u&=&|u|^{2q-2}u+b|v|^q|u|^{q-2}u\ -Delta v+omega^2v&=&|v|^{2q-2}v+b|u|^q|v|^{q-2}v end{array} ight. end{equation} in $mathbf{R}^n$, for $omegageq1$, $b>0$ (the so-called "attractive case") and $q>1$ ($q<fracnn-2$ if $ngeq3$). We improve for several ranges of $(q,n,omega)$ the known results concerning the existence of positive ground state solutions with non-trivial components. In particular, we prove that for $1<q<2$ such ground states exist in all dimensions and for all values of $omega$, which constitutes a drastic change of behaviour with respect to the case $qgeq2$. Furthermore, in the one-dimensional case $n=1$, we improve the results present in the literature for $q>2$.
