Normalized ground states solutions for nonautonomous Choquard equations

Abstract

In this paper, we study normalized ground state solutions for the following nonautonomous Choquard equation: $$-\Delta u-\lambda u=\left(\frac{1}{|x|^{\mu}}\ast A|u|^{p}\right)A|u|^{p-2}u,\quad \int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}|u|^{2}dx=c,\quad u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N,\mathbb{R}),$$ where $c>0$, $0<\mu<N$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$, $A\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^N,\mathbb{R})$. For $p\in(2_{*,\mu}, \bar{p})$, we prove that the Choquard equation possesses ground state normalized solutions, and the set of ground states is orbitally stable. For $p\in (\bar{p},2^*_\mu)$, we find a normalized solution, which is not a global minimizer. $2^*_\mu$ and $2_{*,\mu}$ are the upper and lower critical exponents due to the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, respectively. $\bar{p}$ is $L^2-$critical exponent. Our results generalize and extend some related results.
