Multiplicity of radial and nonradial solutions to equations with fractional operators

Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of radial and nonradial solutions to the scalar field equations with fractional operators. For radial solutions, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions under $N\ge 2$. We also show the existence of least energy solution (with the Pohozaev identity) and its mountain pass characterization. For nonradial solutions, we prove the existence of at least one nonradial solution under $N\ge 4$ and infinitely many nonradial solutions under either $N=4$ or $N\ge 6$. We treat both of the zero mass and the positive mass cases.
