Abstract

We study the following nonlinear scalar field equation Δu=f(u)μu,uH1(RN)withuL2(RN)2=m. -\Delta u=f(u)-\mu u, \quad u \in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N) \quad \text{with} \quad \|u\|^2_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N)}=m. Here fC(R,R)f\in C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}), m>0m>0 is a given constant and μR\mu\in\mathbb{R} is a Lagrange multiplier. In a mass subcritical case but under general assumptions on the nonlinearity ff, we show the existence of one nonradial solution for any N4N\geq4, and obtain multiple (sometimes infinitely many) nonradial solutions when N=4N=4 or N6N\geq6. In particular, all these solutions are sign-changing.
