Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the existence, multiplicity, and semiclassical concentration of normalized solutions to a critical Schr\"{o}dinger--Poisson system with a singular Hardy potential in R3\mathbb{R}^3. More precisely, we consider {ε2Δu+(V(x)κε2x2)uϕu3u=λu+μuq2u+u4u,in R3,ε2Δϕ=u5,in R3, \begin{cases} -\varepsilon^2\Delta u+ \left(V(x)-\dfrac{\kappa\varepsilon^2}{|x|^2}\right)u -\phi |u|^3u =\lambda u+\mu |u|^{q-2}u+|u|^4u, & \text{in } \mathbb{R}^3, \\[1mm] -\varepsilon^2\Delta\phi=|u|^5, & \text{in } \mathbb{R}^3, \end{cases} under the prescribed mass constraint R3u2dx=a2ε3, \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|u|^2\,dx=a^2\varepsilon^3, where a,μ>0a,\mu>0, q(2,10/3)q\in(2,10/3), ε>0\varepsilon>0 is a small semiclassical parameter, and 0<κ<1/40<\kappa<1/4. The parameter λR\lambda\in\mathbb{R} appears as a Lagrange multiplier associated with the mass constraint, while V:R3(0,+)V:\mathbb{R}^3\to(0,+\infty) is a continuous electric potential whose minimum set is assumed to be nonempty and compact. The main difficulty stems from the simultaneous presence of the inverse-square Hardy singularity, the mass constraint, the critical local nonlinearity, and the nonlocal Poisson interaction. By combining the Hardy inequality, constrained variational methods, suitable truncation arguments, and concentration-compactness techniques, we first establish the existence of a normalized ground state for sufficiently small mass and sufficiently small ε\varepsilon. We then employ Ljusternik--Schnirelmann category theory to obtain multiple normalized solutions whose number is related to the topology of the minimum set of VV. Finally, we show that the corresponding semiclassical states concentrate near the global minimum set of the electric potential as ε0\varepsilon\to0.
