2 We are concerned with a planar gauged Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation: id 0 φ + (D 1 D 1 + D 2 D 2 )φ + φ p 1 φ = 0. Here t R, x = (x 1, x 2 ) R 2, φ : R R 2 C is the scalar field, A µ : R R 2 R are the components of the gauge potential, namely (A 0, A 1, A 2 ) = (A 0, A), and D µ = µ + ia µ is the covariant derivative (µ = 0, 1, 2).
3 The field equations, in non-relativistic notation, are B = A, E = A 0 t A, where (E, B) is the electromagnetic field. The natural and obvious equation of gauge field dynamic is the Maxwell equation: µ F µν = j ν, where F µν = µ A ν ν A µ, and j µ is the conserved matter current, j 0 = φ 2, j i = 2Im ( φd i φ).
4 A modified gauge field equation has been introduced adding the so-called Chern-Simons term into the previous equation [Deser, Hangen, Jackiw, Schonfeld, Templeton, in the 80s]:

At low energies, the Maxwell term becomes negligible and can be dropped, giving rise to: 1 2 κɛναβ F αβ = j ν.
7 Taking for simplicity κ = 2, we arrive to the system id 0 φ + (D 1 D 1 + D 2 D 2 )φ + φ p 1 φ = 0, 0 A 1 1 A 0 = Im( φd 2 φ), 0 A 2 2 A 0 = Im( φd 1 φ), 1 A 2 2 A 1 = 1 2 φ 2, (1) where the unknowns are (φ, A 0, A 1, A 2 ).

As usual in Chern-Simons theory, problem (1) is invariant under gauge transformation, for any arbitrary C -function χ. φ φe iχ, A µ A µ µ χ,

10 This model was first proposed and studied by Jackiw & Pi, in several papers in the beginning of 90s, and sometimes has received the name of Chern-Simons-Schrödinger equation. The initial value problem, as well as global existence and blow-up, has been addressed in [Bergé, de Bouard & Saut, 1995; Huh, ] for the case p = 3.
11 The existence of stationary states for (1) and general p > 1 has been studied recently in [Byeon, Huh & Seok, JFA 2012].
12 The existence of stationary states for (1) and general p > 1 has been studied recently in [Byeon, Huh & Seok, JFA 2012]. They look for the classical solutions, that is, solutions (φ, A 0, A 1, A 2 ) of (1) in C 2 (R 2 ) C 1 (R 2 ) C 1 (R 2 ) C 1 (R 2 ).

They look for the classical solutions, that is, solutions (φ, A 0, A 1, A 2 ) of (1) in C 2 (R 2 ) C 1 (R 2 ) C 1 (R 2 ) C 1 (R 2 ). Moreover they seek the standing wave solutions of the form φ(t, x) = u( x )e iωt, A 0 (x) = k( x ), A 1 (t, x) = x 2 x 2 h( x ), A 2(t, x) = x 1 x 2 h( x ), where ω > 0 is a given frequency and u, k, h are real valued functions on [0, ) and h(0) = 0.
14 With this ansatz, (1) becomes u + ωu + A 0 u + A 2 1 u + A2 2 u u p 1 u = 0, 1 A 0 = A 2 u 2, 2 A 0 = A 1 u 2, 1 A 2 2 A 1 = 1 2 u2.
15 With this ansatz, (1) becomes u + ωu + A 0 u + A 2 1 u + A2 2 u u p 1 u = 0, 1 A 0 = A 2 u 2, 2 A 0 = A 1 u 2, 1 A 2 2 A 1 = 1 2 u2. First, they solve A 0, A 1, A 2 in terms of u. The ansatz implies 1 s h (s) = 1 2 u2 (s).
16 With this ansatz, (1) becomes u + ωu + A 0 u + A 2 1 u + A2 2 u u p 1 u = 0, 1 A 0 = A 2 u 2, 2 A 0 = A 1 u 2, 1 A 2 2 A 1 = 1 2 u2. First, they solve A 0, A 1, A 2 in terms of u. The ansatz implies 1 s h (s) = 1 2 u2 (s). From the condition h(0) = 0, we get and so h(r) = r 0 s 2 u2 (s) ds, A 1 (x) = x x 2 s x u2 (s) ds, A 2 (x) = x x 1 s x u2 (s) ds.
17 For what concerns A 0, we have k (s) = h(s) u 2 (s). s By integrating both sides from r to, we obtain A 0 (x) = k( x ) = ξ + x h(s) u 2 (s) ds, s where ξ is an arbitrary constant which is just the value of k at infinity.
18 For what concerns A 0, we have k (s) = h(s) u 2 (s). s By integrating both sides from r to, we obtain A 0 (x) = k( x ) = ξ + x h(s) u 2 (s) ds, s where ξ is an arbitrary constant which is just the value of k at infinity. If u H 1 r (R 2 ) C(R 2 ), then A 0, A 1, A 2 L (R 2 ) C 1 (R 2 ).
19 Therefore we need only to solve, in R 2, the equation: ( u + ω + ξ + h2 ( x ) + x 2 + x ) h(s) u 2 (s) ds u = u p 1 u. s
20 Therefore we need only to solve, in R 2, the equation: ( u + ω + ξ + h2 ( x ) + x 2 + x ) h(s) u 2 (s) ds u = u p 1 u. s Let us show that the constant ω + ξ is a gauge invariant of the stationary solutions of the problem.
21 Since problem (1) is invariant under gauge transformation, φ φe iχ, A µ A µ µ χ, for any arbitrary C function χ, if ( (φ, A 0, A 1, A 2 ) = u( x )e iωt, k( x ), x ) 2 x 2 h( x ), x 1 x 2 h( x ), is a solution of (1),
22 Since problem (1) is invariant under gauge transformation, φ φe iχ, A µ A µ µ χ, for any arbitrary C function χ, if ( (φ, A 0, A 1, A 2 ) = u( x )e iωt, k( x ), x ) 2 x 2 h( x ), x 1 x 2 h( x ), is a solution of (1), then, taking χ = ct, ( ( φ, Ã 0, A 1, A 2 ) = u( x )e i(ω+c)t, k( x ) c, x ) 2 x 2 h( x ), x 1 x 2 h( x ), is a solution of (1), too.
23 The equation We will take ξ = 0 in what follows, that is, lim A 0 (x) = 0, x + which was assumed in [Jackiw & Pi, Bergé, de Bouard & Saut].
24 The equation We will take ξ = 0 in what follows, that is, lim A 0 (x) = 0, x + which was assumed in [Jackiw & Pi, Bergé, de Bouard & Saut]. Our aim is to solve, in R 2, the nonlocal equation: ( u + ω + h2 ( x ) + x 2 + x ) h(s) u 2 (s) ds u = u p 1 u, s (P) where h(r) = r 0 s 2 u2 (s) ds.
25 In [Byeon, Huh, Seok, JFA 2012] it is shown that (P) is indeed the Euler-Lagrange equation of the energy functional: I ω : H 1 r (R 2 ) R, defined as I ω (u) = 1 ( u 2 + ωu 2) dx 2 R u 2 ( (x) x ) 2 8 R 2 x 2 su 2 (s) ds dx 1 u p+1 dx. 0 p + 1 R 2

27 Since ( 1 x ) 2 x 2 su 2 (s) ds = C ( ) 2 0 x 2 u 2 (x) dx C u 4 L B(0, x ) 4 (R 2 ),
28 Since ( 1 x ) 2 x 2 su 2 (s) ds = C ( ) 2 0 x 2 u 2 (x) dx C u 4 L B(0, x ) 4 (R 2 ), then, for any u H 1 r (R 2 ), u 2 (x) R 2 x 2 ( x 2 su 2 (s) ds) dx < +. 0
29 Since ( 1 x ) 2 x 2 su 2 (s) ds = C ( ) 2 0 x 2 u 2 (x) dx C u 4 L B(0, x ) 4 (R 2 ), then, for any u H 1 r (R 2 ), u 2 (x) R 2 x 2 ( x 2 su 2 (s) ds) dx < +. 0 Therefore the functional is well defined in H 1 r (R 2 ).
30 A useful inequality In [Byeon, Huh & Seok], it is proved that, for any u H 1 r (R 2 ), u(x) 4 dx R 2 ( ) 1 ( 2 u(x) 2 2 u 2 ( x 2 12 dx R 2 R 2 x 2 su (s)ds) dx) 2. 0
31 A useful inequality In [Byeon, Huh & Seok], it is proved that, for any u H 1 r (R 2 ), u(x) 4 dx R 2 ( ) 1 ( 2 u(x) 2 2 u 2 ( x 2 12 dx R 2 R 2 x 2 su (s)ds) dx) 2. 0 Furthermore, the equality is attained by a continuum of functions { } 8l u l = 1 + lx 2 H1 r (R 2 ) : l (0, + ).

35 Byeon-Huh-Seok results: case p > 3 In this case the local nonlinearity dominates the nonlocal term. I ω is unbounded from below. I ω exhibits a mountain-pass geometry. The existence of a solution is not so direct, since for p (3, 5) the (PS) property is not known to hold: we do not know if (PS)-sequences are bounded.

The existence of a solution is not so direct, since for p (3, 5) the (PS) property is not known to hold: we do not know if (PS)-sequences are bounded. This problem is bypassed by using a constrained minimization taking into account the Nehari and Pohozaev identities, in the spirit of [Ruiz, JFA 2006] for the Schrödinger-Poisson equation.

Infinitely many solutions have been found in [Huh, JMP 2012] for p > 5 (possibly sign-changing): this case is more easy since (PS)-condition holds.
38 Byeon-Huh-Seok results: case p = 3 This is a special case:
39 Byeon-Huh-Seok results: case p = 3 This is a special case: static solutions can be found by passing to a self-dual equation, which leads to a Liouville equation that can be solved explicitly.
40 Byeon-Huh-Seok results: case p = 3 This is a special case: static solutions can be found by passing to a self-dual equation, which leads to a Liouville equation that can be solved explicitly. Any standing wave solutions (φ, A 0, A 1, A 2 ) of the previous type with φ > 0 have the following form: (φ, A 0, A 1, A 2 ) = ( ( 8le iωt 1 + lx 2, 2l 1 + lx 2 where l > 0 is an arbitrary real constant. ) 2 ω, 2l 2 x lx 2, 2l 2 x lx 2 ),

The case 1 < p < 3 for problem (P) is similar to the case 1 < p < 2 for (2)? In particular, in [Ruiz, JFA 2006] it is proved that if 1 < p < 2, for λ small enough, the functional I λ is bounded from below and it possesses at least two critical points: one is the minimum, at negative level, the other is a mountain-pass critical point, at positive level.

93 The map ψ Let us evaluate J ω on the curve k w k. We have [ p 5 ψ(k) = J ω (w k ) = m 2(3 + p) k 3+p 2(p 1) + ω ] 2 k 5 p 2(p 1) + m2 24 k 3(5 p) 2(p 1).

Since 5 p 2(p 1) < 3 + p 3(5 p) < 2(p 1) 2(p 1), ψ is increasing near 0 (for ω > 0) and near infinity.

Since u n ψ n H1 (R) c, we can prove that J ω (u n ψ n ) c > 0. Since ξ n u n 2, we infer that I ω (u n ) > I ω (u n (1 ψ n )). Contradiction with the definition of u n, which proves that inf I ω >.
