Abstract

This paper considers the fractional Schr\"{o}dinger equation \begin{equation}\label{abstract} (-\Delta)^s u + V(|x|)u-u^p=0, \quad u>0, \quad u\in H^{2s}(\R^N) \end{equation} where 0<s<10<s<1, 1<p<N+2sN2s1<p<\frac{N+2s}{N-2s}, V(x)V(|x|) is a positive potential and N2N\geq 2. We show that if V(x)V(|x|) has the following expansion: V(x)=V0+axm+o(1xm)\mboxas x+, V(|x|)=V_0 + \frac{a}{|x|^m} + o\left(\frac{1}{|x|^m}\right) \qquad \mbox{as} \ |x| \rightarrow +\infty, in which the constants are properly assumed, then (\ref{abstract}) admits infinitely many non-radial solutions, whose energy can be made arbitrarily large. This is the first result for fractional Schr\"{o}dinger equation. The s=1s=1 case corresponds to the known result in Wei-Yan \cite{WY}.
