Abstract

We study the existence and multiplicity of positive normalized solutions with prescribed L2L^{2}-norm for the Sobolev critical Schr\"odinger equation ΔU+V(x)U=λU+U22U-\Delta U + V(x) U = \lambda U + |U|^{2^*-2} U in RN\mathbb{R}^N, RNU2dx=ρ2\int_{\mathbb{R}^N} U^2\,dx = \rho^2, where N3N \ge 3, V0V\ge 0 is a trapping potential, λR\lambda \in \mathbb{R} and 2=2NN22^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}. Our first result is that the existence of local minimum solutions for ρ(0,ρ)\rho \in (0, \rho^*), for some suitable ρ>0\rho^* > 0, under appropriate assumptions on the potential. These solutions correspond to ground states. Our second result concerns the existence of mountain pass solutions, under the same assumptions.
