Mountain pass solutions for the fractional Berestycki-Lions problem

We investigate the existence of least energy solutions and infinitely many solutions for the following nonlinear fractional equation (-\Delta)^{s} u = g(u) \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, where $s\in (0,1)$, $N\geq 2$, $(-\Delta)^{s}$ is the fractional Laplacian and $g: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is an odd $\mathcal{C}^{1, \alpha}$ function satisfying Berestycki-Lions type assumptions. The proof is based on the symmetric mountain pass approach developed by Hirata, Ikoma and Tanaka in \cite{HIT}. Moreover, by combining the mountain pass approach and an approximation argument, we also prove the existence of a positive radially symmetric solution for the above problem when $g$ satisfies suitable growth conditions which make our problem fall in the so called "zero mass" case.
