Singularly perturbed critical Choquard equations

In this paper we study the semiclassical limit for the singularly perturbed Choquard equation -\vr^2\Delta u +V(x)u =\vr^{\mu-3}\Big(\int_{\R^3} \frac{Q(y)G(u(y))}{|x-y|^\mu}dy\Big)Q(x)g(u) \quad \mbox{in $\R^3$}, where $0<\mu<3$, $\vr$ is a positive parameter, $V,Q$ are two continuous real function on $\R^3$ and $G$ is the primitive of $g$ which is of critical growth due to the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality. Under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearity $g$, we first establish the existence of ground states for the critical Choquard equation with constant coefficients in $\R^3$. Next we establish existence and multiplicity of semi-classical solutions and characterize the concentration behavior by variational methods.
