Ground states of the Schrödinger-Maxwell system with dirac mass: Existence and asymptotics

Abstract

We study a non-relativistic charged quantum particle moving in a bounded open set $\Omega\subset\R^3$ with smooth boundary under the action of a zero-range potential. In the electrostatic case the standing wave solutions take the form $\psi(t,x)=u(x)e^{-i\omega t}$ where $u$ formally satisfies $-\Delta u+\alpha\varphi u-\beta\delta_{x_0} u=\omega u$ and the electric potential $\varphi$ is given by $-\Delta\varphi = u^2$. We introduce the definition of ground state. We show the existence of such solutions for each $\beta>0$ and the compactness as $\beta\to 0$.
