Abstract

We study the problem (-\epsilon\mathrm{i}\nabla+A(x)) ^{2}u+V(x)u=\epsilon ^{-2}(\frac{1}{|x|}\ast|u|^{2}) u, u\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3},\mathbb{C}),\text{\ \ \ \}\epsilon\nabla u+\mathrm{i}Au\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3},\mathbb{C}^{3}), where A ⁣:R3R3A\colon\mathbb{R}^{3}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{3} is an exterior magnetic potential, V ⁣:R3RV\colon\mathbb{R}^{3}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} is an exterior electric potential, and ϵ\epsilon is a small positive number. If A=0 and ϵ=\epsilon=\hbar is Planck's constant this problem is equivalent to the Schr\"odinger-Newton equations proposed by Penrose in \cite{pe2}\ to describe his view that quantum state reduction occurs due to some gravitational effect. We assume that AA and VV are compatible with the action of a group GG of linear isometries of R3\mathbb{R}^{3}. Then, for any given homomorphism τ:GS1\tau:G\rightarrow\mathbb{S}^{1} into the unit complex numbers, we show that there is a combined effect of the symmetries and the potential VV on the number of semiclassical solutions u:Ru:\mathbb{R}% ^{3}\rightarrow\mathbb{C} which satisfy u(gx)=τ(g)u(x)u(gx)=\tau(g)u(x) for all gGg\in G, xR3x\in\mathbb{R}^{3}. We also study the concentration behavior of these solutions as ϵ0.\medskip\epsilon\rightarrow0.\medskip
