Abstract: We prove the existence of positive solutions for the supercritical nonlinear fractional Schr"odinger equation $(-Delta{)}^{s}u+V(x)u-u^p=0$ in $mathbb{R}^n$, with $u(x)o0$ as $|x|o+infty$, where $p>fracn+2sn-2s$ for $sin(0,1),n>2s$. We show that if $V(x)=o(|x{|}^{-2s})$ as $|x|o+infty$, then for $p>fracn+2s-1n-2s-1$, this problem admits a continuum of solutions. More generally, for $p>fracn+2sn-2s$, conditions for solvability are also provided. This result is the extension of the work by Davila, Del Pino, Musso and Wei to the fractional case. Our main contributions are: the existence of a smooth, radially symmetric, entire solution of $(-Delta{)}^{s}w=w^p$ in $mathbb{R}^n$, and the analysis of its properties. The difficulty here is the lack of phase-plane analysis for a nonlocal ODE; instead we use conformal geometry methods together with Schaaf's argument as in the paper by Ao, Chan, DelaTorre, Fontelos, Gonz'alez and Wei on the singular fractional Yamabe problem.
