Abstract
In this paper, we study normalized ground states for the following critical fractional NLS equation with prescribed mass:
where \((-\Delta )^{s}\) is the fractional Laplacian, \(0<s<1\), \(N>2s\), \(2<q<2_{s}^{*}=2N/(N-2s)\) is a fractional critical Sobolev exponent, \(a>0\), \(\mu \in \mathbb {R}\). By using Jeanjean’s trick in Jeanjean (Nonlinear Anal 28:1633–1659, 1997), and the standard method which can be found in Brézis and Nirenberg (Commun Pure Appl Math 36:437–477, 1983) to overcome the lack of compactness, we first prove several existence and nonexistence results for a \(L^{2}\)-subcritical (or \(L^{2}\)-critical or \(L^{2}\)-supercritical) perturbation \(\mu |u|^{q-2}u\), then we give some results about the behavior of the ground state obtained above as \(\mu \rightarrow 0^{+}\). Our results extend and improve the existing ones in several directions.
