Abstract

In this paper we focus our attention on the following nonlinear fractional Schr\"odinger equation with magnetic field \begin{equation*} \varepsilon^{2s}(-\Delta)_{A/\varepsilon}^{s}u+V(x)u=f(|u|^{2})u \quad \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{equation*} where ε>0\varepsilon>0 is a parameter, s(0,1)s\in (0, 1), N3N\geq 3, (Δ)As(-\Delta)^{s}_{A} is the fractional magnetic Laplacian, V:RNRV:\mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} and A:RNRNA:\mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^N are continuous potentials and f:RNRf:\mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} is a subcritical nonlinearity. By applying variational methods and Ljusternick-Schnirelmann theory, we prove existence and multiplicity of solutions for ε\varepsilon small.
