Solutions to Sobolev Supercritical Nonlinear Schrodinger Equations on an Annulus via a Hopf Reduction Method

Abstract

This paper investigates the existence of positive solutions with a prescribed mass for nonlinear Schrodinger equations on an annulus, possibly in the Sobolev supercritical regime. A reduction method based on the Hopf fibration is used to transform the problem into a lower-dimensional one. We obtain a new mass critical threshold and we show that in the new mass subcritical or critical regimes there exists a positive solution which corresponds to a global minimizer, while in the mass supercritical regime, there exists two positive solutions which correspond to a local minimizer and a mountain pass solution respectively. Some other problems are also discussed in this paper.
